The exhibition was fine, notwithstanding the unHivorableness of 

 the season, surpassing any former one. The fruits were excellent, 

 and in fine condition, as were also the vegetables. There were many 

 new and rare plants exhibited, and the hall was decorated in a most 

 superb manner. 



The exhibition gave general satisfaction; indeed, there appeared to 

 be but one opinion, which was of universal praise. — Thomas Han-
