82 [ASSEMBLV 



of intelligent men actively engaged in the pursuits of agricul- 

 ture. The attendance of the regularly appointed judges was 

 unusually prompt, which avoided, to a large extent, the neces- 

 sity of filling up vacancies on the ground. The awards of the 

 judges appeared to give very general satisfaction. We feel sat- 

 isfied that their duties were performed promptly and impartially, 

 for which they are entitled to the thanks of the Institute. We 

 attach their several Reports, with such recommendations as they 

 have thought proper to make ; and we have solicited the obser- 

 vations of these gentlemen for publication, being confident that 

 thereby much useful information may be annually disseminated. 

 We would particularly call attention to a communication from 

 Mr. Thomas De Voe, as C/ontaining important suggestions.
