The Executive Committee met in April, at the Secretary's office, 

 and prepared a list of premiums, which amounted to more than six 

 hundred dollars. The Annual Show Bill was posted in more than 

 two hundred public places, within the limits of the Society, and 

 printed in the Amherst Express. The responsible and delicate duty 

 of awarding premiums was assigned to forty Committees, composed 

 of two hundred and twenty-one ladies and gentlemen.
