There were but two lots on exhibition, the extent and variety of which would 

 entitle them to consideration for the premiums for the largest and best collec- 

 tions. Of these, one of fifty-four varieties, large and well-grown, belonged to 

 the President of the Society, (D. Waldo Lincoln), and the other, of sixty-two 

 varieties, to the Chairman of the Committee on Pears, (J. Milton Earle). 

 Owing to these official positions, both these gentlemen declined to be compet- 

 itors for premiums, which were therefore withheld.
