Grape-Growers' Association of New York. — This association held its 

 first annual exhibition at Canandaigua, N.Y., on the 7th and 8th of October. 



The occasion called together the most prominent grape-growers and amateurs 

 of the State, as well as many from other parts of the country. Among them we 

 noticed Mr. M. P. Wilder of Massachusetts, Dr. Warder of Ohio, William Grif- 

 fith of Pennsylvania, Charles Downing, Dr. C. W. Grant, A. S. Fuller, P. Barry, 

 Dr. Farley, Judge Larrowe, Dr. Randall, Mr. Rose, C. L. Hoag, F. L. Perry, of 

 New York, and many others whose names we have not space to give. 



The display of grapes was probably the best ever made in this country ; and 

 the association may justly feel proud of this their first attempt to show what can 

 be done in producing grapes and wine in America. 



At the close of the first day's exhibition, the society held a meeting in the 

 town hall for general discussion, where members gave their experience in culti- 

 vation, and made known their estimate of the value of different varieties. 



The exhibition closed with an address by Dr. C. W. Grant of New York.
