 in this trial of skill, which will be decided at the ap-

 terest in the subject as to respond to this call, are par- 

 ticuh^rly requested to accompany their contributions 

 with a description of the appellation, age, color, culture, 

 soil, and exjjosure of the grapes from which their wines 

 are made, and of the manipulation pursued in their 

 manulacture, &c. that the necessary knowledge may be 

 imparted to those of their fellow-citizens who desire to 

 emulate them, to enable them to " go and do likewise." 

 And the same requirements, so far as can be obtained, 

 will be fulfilled in regard to the foreign wines which 

 may offer themselves as the standard of competition.
