Cincinnati, O. 



The Lake-shore Grape-growers' Association have appointed J. E. Mottier, 

 and the American Wine-growers' Association E. A. Thompson, their presi- 

 dent, to represent them on the committee, — making the requisite number 

 to award the premiums ; and to them will be submitted the grapes and 

 wines that may be offered for competition. The well-known character of 

 the gentlemen constituting the committee is sufficient guaranty that entire 

 justice will be done to all who enter the lists. It is fair to presume that 

 any grape that shall receive their approval may safely be planted by the 

 grape-growers of a portion of the, if not of the entire. United States. The 

 interest felt in the grape in all parts of the country is so great, that we 

 doubt not there will be sharp competition among the growers to secure the 

 post of honor for their favorite grape. We wish the enterprise success.
