PHILADELPHIA SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING AGRICULTURE. 



Stated Meeting, August, 1854. — President, Dr. A. L. Elwyn, in the 

 chair. 



Minutes of preceding meeting read and approved. Dr. William Shippen 

 and Mr. J. C. Cresson, proposed as resident members at last meeting, were 

 balloted for and duly elected. Two propositions for resident membership 

 were received. 



Mr. David George tendered his resignation from the Joint Committee of 

 Arrangement on the State Agricultural Fair. On motion, the resignation 

 was accepted, and Mr. John Rice appointed in his stead. 



Mr. Harrison, from the same Committee, reported that the grounds at 

 Powelton had been enclosed for the purposes of the Fair, and that a propo- 

 sition had been made to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, to adopt 

 their premium list, and the awards of their judges, provided the Society 

 would waive their usual exhibition and throw their influence in behalf of the 

 Horticultural department of the State Fair. All which has since been 

 agreed to. 



The President inquired concerning the result of the late exhibition of 

 implements at Mr. Stavely's, in Bucks county.
