second to S. Charlesworth. The following is Mr. Bowron’s 
process of manufacture : 
“ After passing the cane through wooden rollers to get the 
juice, it is strained through a coarse linen cloth ; then boiled 
ten or fifteen minutes, and all skimmed off ; then strained 
through a fine cotton cloth; then boiled as rapidly as possible 
until it is reduced to about one-third of its original bulk; then 
removed and allowed to settle about twelve hours; •when it is 
carefully poured off to leave the sediment, and again boiled and 
skimmed until reduced to proper consistency. Yield, about one 
gallon of syrup to ten of juice.” 
At a meeting of the Board of Control, subsequent to the 
Fair, it was unanimously voted, that the thanks of this Society 
be tendered to Prof. Hoyt, for the very able and eloquent ad¬ 
dress delivered by him before said Society, and that a copy of 
the same be requested for publication with the Proceedings of 
the Society. 
Below will be found a correct exhibit of the finances of the 
Society.
