 tion of article, "gratuity" instead of premium, with space for 

 amount. These cards to be packed in a pasteboard box in the 

 order in which the premiums are offered, with the re(^uisite 

 number of blank cards, (the outside of box to designate the 

 committee, with request to return box with the cards not used 

 to Superintendent of Hall), and placed in charge of the Super- 

 intendent of Hall for each committee's use ; the boxes, with 

 the cards remaining, to be handed to him by the chairman of 

 the committee, at the close of their labors. We think the 

 Society would save expense by so doing, as many cards are 

 now wasted by being thrown into corners, or carried away in 

 the pockets of committees unintentionally as we did. 



Congratulating the Society on having such an exhibit, with 

 this unfavorable season of two months drought, which would 

 have been considered an excellent one under the most favor- 

 able circumstances, this report is respectfully submitted.
