 Horticultural Society has spent duriug the ninety-two years of 

 its existence no less than £400,000. That it has made mistakes 

 and wasted money its best friends will not deny ; but it may 

 confidently be asserted that it has done and is doing a good work 

 which no other Society could do — a good work of value to the 

 community — and the introductions of the Society and the lessons 

 it has taught have embellished the land and smile on the visitor 

 from every park and garden in the kingdom." He thought that 

 fairly represented the work of the Society, which, he believed, 

 had the cordial support of the horticulturists of this kingdom. 



DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDALS. 



The company then adjourned to the Drill Hall, where a large 

 number of persons had assembled to witness the interesting 

 ceremony of presenting the medals. The President, having made 

 a few opening remarks, called upon the Secretary, the Rev. W. 

 Wilks, to read out the names of the recipients, each recipient 

 stepping forward to receive his medal from the President's hands 

 as his name was called out.
