The Horticultural Exhibitions were omitted, the past 

 season, in consequence of the unsettled condition of aifairs 

 during the removal. 



The curators in the several departments have not yet com- 

 pleted the arrangements of their respective collections, con- 

 sequently they are not yet prepared to report. 



The Treasurer's account exhibits a favorable condition of 

 the Finances which will be duly submitted. 



The above exhibits a fair account of the present condition 

 of the Institute with the collections of the several depart- 

 ments, arranged. The library catalogue which was com- 

 menced last summer and advanced so far as to allow the 

 circulation of the books, will be prepared for the use of 

 the members as soon as circumstances will admit. We 

 trust that the Institute will grow in public favor, be well 

 patronized and thereby be the better enabled to carry out the 

 liberal and enlarged views of the founders and the great 

 object of its organization. 



The following were elected officers for the year ensuing 

 and until others shall be chosen in their stead. 



President — Daniel A. White.

 Henry M. Brooks.
