Report of Society's Meetings. 163 
to judge by present indications, from the number of 
entries, a much larger and more interesting Show will 
result, so that given fine weather every success should 
attend it. The exhibits of native manufadlurers at work 
will be a much more interesting feature than heretofore, 
since in addition to the native Indian and East Indian 
se6lions, there will be an exhibit of Pottery makers from 
the Vreede-en-Rust works of the Demerara River. 
A letter was read from Dr. Morris regretting that owing 
to his departure for England he was unable to accept the 
invitation of the Society to attend the Horticultural Show. 
The President said they greatly regretted that Dr. 
Morris was unable to attend the Show, for he would have 
had a good opportunity of seeing what they were able to 
do in the way of Horticulture generally.
