It may not be amiss to call the attention of the Society to a few things suggest- 

 ed by the foregoing pages, and particularly to the Report of the Treasurer. It 

 shows a very different face from what we have been accustomed to see. It shows 

 that the caution we gave in last year's "Transactions," was well put, but little ' 

 heeded. It is not safe to presume that all things at all times will be propitious. 

 The Old Society is very prosperous, and its receipts large. It is able to give 

 largelv, but not lavishly, in premiums, and in expenditures for the convenience 

 and pleasure of its members. 



Question: Did the Society contemplate, when it placed Life Membership of 

 ladies at $3 — the interest of which would not give them a single admission to the 

 grounds — giving them the right to enter for premium the stock and products of 

 the farm, and all the privileges of a $10 membership ? 



The Society greatly needs a codification, or an abstract of the " Rules and Reg- 

 ulations,'' and the " By-Laws," which could be put on half a page of the Premium 

 List, instead of the long, story, told two or three times over, and occupying 

 nearly four pages in very small type; thus adding a quarter or more to the ex- 

 pense of printing the Premium List.
