'iisT first 3067 THJS GREAT EXHIBITION. NEW BRUNSWICK SOCIETY, r i)it encouragement of Agriculture, Home Manufactures and\ Commerce Ahroughout the Province. TbaiAnnual Meeting of this Society, at the County Court House, in Fro- '' ddriitori, was held on the evening of tlie 7tli day of January, 1852. The Preaident took his deat and as chairman of the Executive Committee submit- tfl|^^"ffii«,Annual Report of the Society's doings for the informatfcn of the pub- lic,' 01 which the tonutving is a copy : — J GjENktEMBN. — It becomes my duty to Report the Society's doings during tlie'p'l^year since the Itist anniversary held in January, and to offer such ob-'' servatiflms as occur to uie in regard to tlie Society's operations. ' It haajbeeh a principal object with the Society, and'it has been thought particularly Incumbent upon it in the early stages of its proceedings, to dis- setninate')|.s widely as it was able sound in/brmrtfjon connected with the im- ponatlt d^^ects which it la its aim to advance ; with t\m view commirtses were riumcd pb investigate and prepare reports to be submitted to the Society on some o? the pnncifial subdivisions of the three great interests which the So- ciety is'ieftablished'to advance, and others allied therewith. These have bean pabli^hw under the supervision- of the Society, and widely circulated. The lU«t pan of the Journal of our proceedings contains the early reports so eub- mittedJand the coursg which the Society has thus taken, has I believe met with y|ry general approbation.' Since the period of the last annual meeting several other reports on very important subjects have been published. One of .theiii ii on Draining; an operation on the effectual performance of which mu'cil ^f the success of Agriculture dc^pends. It is only within a very late period that the full imj;ortance of tliis subject has begun to be understood, even in-pngland, whoso Agriculture we have been apt to suppose must have bae'n long' since much more perfect than it is now believed to be. The Rmxbrt enters very fully into the whole subject, pointing out tin vwidus npdes adopted in regard to different localitios, and the rationale of the benefits thereby communicated to the soil in the nouiishtnent of plants. A BrOpoi't has also been made on the improvement of Barns and Stables, both sofT regards the protection and well being of tho cattle, and the preserva- tion and management cf manure, with such practical advice as seemed to be lou^ called for. yhe subject of anotiier Report is tiio culture of Flax, which although it has nc?fcyet attracted much attention in this Province, the Society are induced to thiiic may hereafter be profitably raised and applied. The promotion of our i^tesnal prosperity will be very sensibly advanced should tiicse anticipations be^alized, and the Society is dis])osod to watch with great interest any at- Imipts which may be made in this direction. This report enters into niany interesting details in regard to the management and preparation Tor mnnufac- turing purposes of the article in question. A Report has" been also presented on the subject of Immigration, and one on the m^ans of encouraging new seUlers. These reports set forth the difficulties which beset tlse enugrant on hi/J"fir3t arrival, ani thosa peculiar to the formation of settlements ia remote m ii M t— 'A^"^"^^ ♦ ^* l[»ractical suggestions ^or their removal or mitigation, with a ' ' view to the improvement of the condition of those hardy pioneers of civih- zition. Another Report discusses the best mode of disseminating information in connection with tlie objects of tie Society; and among variojs sngget* ns in regard to Agriculture, strongly recommends the c,B:ablishment of farmer's Clubs. Annexed thereto is a pi n for the formation of such institutions con- taining the rules proper for their guidance. There is aho an interim report in connection with the subject of a Provincial Show and Fair, which will be more particularly adverted to by the Corresjionding Secretary hereafter^— These various reports contain much matters likely to be found valuable to the country, and have been printed iri the spcond pirt of the Joujul of tlie Society's proceedings. Of this publicatian four thousand copies have bee jii printed, of which fifteen hundred nave been distributed, and also seven thou- sand copies of tlie Canadian Tract for the economical improvement of worn out soils, the great vakie of which was generally acknowledged. 't Petition to the Legislature was also adpptei«3 in order to obtain a modifi- cation of the terms cJf obtaining the Provincial Grqn^, in jEiid of the, funds of t)i8 Society, which object was successfully accomplished. During tlie sitting of the Legislature a large an^ influential meeting; wa^ held, at which Hie object and exertions of the Society appeared to b6 very fully appreciated, and tnuch valuable information affjrded. The receipts and expenditure during the past year are fully detailed^a tlie Treasurer's account which will be pubmitted. *» f •« Premiums were offered by the Society for Essays on the improvement and encouragement of Orchaids: — ,, On the imprpvement of the Woolen Manufactories of this Province: — On tlie best ways of lising Turnips and other root crops in the feeding of 8to:k. ,, And a Preminm also for the best managed Farm of not less than a pre- scribed s'ze as indicated by answers to a series of questions ; and another foTs the second best. A Premium was also offered for the first 10 babels of i\eef or Pork of first or second quality packed according to the directraiis of tl e Society. \ The time for presenting the Essays has been enlarged until the 31sf Jan- ulry, instant. Tho encouragement thus held out will, it 13 hoped, prove a stimulus to exertion, and furnish valuable materials for the records of tlie society. The Society have also voted a premium of X'15 to Mr. Jolm Flett fpv his Carding Machines, Dyeing works, and Cloth Drpgaing Establiihrnents, recoinmended nuder thfe cOrrespontlence which I will read, (he here read the correspondence,) and, which I may add, the Society has ^felt grea,t aa^iisfgLCtioi,; in encouraging. Public Meetings in aid of this Society ^ve^^ held during the past summer at Dalhousie, Bathurst, Northumberland, Carleton, Saint Andrews, the. Cork and Harvey Settlements, the proceedings in the Northern Counties alvd in (y'arleton have appeared iri detail in the public prints. At all these plApes except Carleton the objects of the Society Avuie enforced by Mr. Kerr, -to wiiose exertions the pubiic ai-e mtich indebted, and his zeal and ability evtry wiiore acknowledged. In the Harvey Settlement and elsewhere measure* were adopted for the formation of three Farmer's Clubs. ]' By all these varied means, the value to be derived from the attention pf intelligent and scientific men being directed towards aiding the developemeiit. of the great sources of a nation's woalth and economic solf-roliance, has been brouslht home to tho inhabitants of the Province in all diroohions — the duty 'which the Society h-.is taken on itsslf, and tho efforti in wiiioh it is engaged, 3 ith a :ivili- intion :* ns ■mer'8 s cpn- report vill )>e Fter;-^ Lble to of the n'thoit- if worn niodifi- 'unds.of ing wa§ b6 very s BdAathe tnent and ,'/ :e: — [d^ding of 'V. hianiipre- id another I brirrels of ecUipns of aiB^Jan- imulus to ety.

It has every where met with encouragement by the exoression ot opinions at public meetings, and in many caHes by contributions to its funds ; and wc trust th approbation thus manifested it; but tlio precursor of a permanent and effective organization in the several counties, to co-operate in tlie common end in view, the elevation of our com- mon country. Much encouragement has been derived from the success at- tending the Exhibition recently held at St. Jolm. To this object our Society lijit its ready aid by devoting a portion of its funds, the sum of thirty pounds to premiums for objects within the scope of its constitution, which were duly awarded. Its corresponding secretary and one of its Vice Presidents attended that Exhibition as a committee of the Society, and made a very valuable and detailed report on the subject, which was published under the direction of the Mechanics Institute at St. John. To many, if not to all, this Exhibition must have conveyed new ideas, botli of tlio agricultural resources of the Provincfj — c^ the extent to which the mechanic skill of its inhabitants had attained, andTed them to entertain better hopes for its future. The subject of a Provincial Show and Fair, which had been from the first an*,object of great interest witli the Society, at length assumed a shape, at a pudijc meeting held in October last, a number of resolutions having been pas'Sp w:ith the view of taking immediate steps to hold a I it in Frsdericton — th* whole of this subject will be so fully expl lined, in puolished reports of the proceedings of that meeting, anH the Corresponding Secretary's report, and di:> schedule which the Society directed to be laid before this meeting tiiit \ neednot further advert to it here — It is to be hoped that it may be the meanflfof fostering a spirit of jjenerous rivalry, the eftects of which will !be felt in tlie\mprovement of the soil and all our native productions, and that it will be onlwthefirst'of a series of Exhibitions of the Uke ]^ind to be held in differ- ent paipj of the Province. Iit'^coBclusion I will observe that there are everywhere appearing signs of steady advance of the great interests connected with the cultivation of the 8oil,^™*'"S which is to be noticed with much satisfaction, the attention of men Af education, and trained for other pursuits, is now beginning to be di- rect^ to the tilling of land not merely as a recreation, but as a deliberately clio^en profession. This is calculated to lead to improved plans of husbandry, and^no less in the eyes of the farmer himself, to give dignity to the art on which he entirely relies. I ly^ill now call upon the Treasurer to lay his acconnt before the meeting, and subsequently on the Correeponding Secretary for his reports on the sub- ject qf the Provincial Fair. Th^ Resolutions of (he last meeting were then adverted to, which are &« follows 'A- Moved by Judge Street, seconded by D. S. Kerr, Esq., and passed unanimously.

The object of prt^- parin^g and disseminating such a Schedule is to direct the attention of all those who are interested in the proposed undertaking to the specific items whichvare desired for the Exhibition; and, as it is only by an united and hearty effort oh f^he part of the whole community that we can hope to get together ;i collection worthy of our Provincial resources and Products, an earnest appeal is made to all partie.s who may see this list, to select at once therefrom such articlet as it is within their power to procure or prepare, or others not included in the list — notify the Secretary thereof — and proceed to get them readjr as soon as possible, m a manner and style befitting the occasion. It is, hoped that the funds to be placed at the disposal of the Society will ejfiable it to defray a portion of the charges of procuring and transmitting certain of the articles for Exhibition, and also to prepare and issue a liberal l^remium list. The Exhibition at St. John last year has already given u>? il^creased confidence in the resources and industrial activity of the Province, ahd I venture to predict a steady and rapid improvement therein from such jtbriodical festivals dedicated to the cause of Art, Industry and Commorco.

The Corresponding Secretary as chairman of committee to report on .Show Clrounds and Exhibition building, agreeably to the lith Resolutionof October last, reported as follows : — PRELIMINARY COMMITTEE FOR THE EXIIIBITIOxN. REPORT OF -■'■■ . t ■■*}'^ _. ■ The committee appointed on 15th October last "to select the necessary pliow-grounds and kind of buildnig for the Exhibition with plans and estimates ,/bf tlio probable expense tliereof " beg to report as follows : — ' 1. It was considered by all, that if the beautiful piece of ground in the vcai* iof the city of Frederictor. commonly known as " The Grove" or „ Park" be- longing to the family of the late Hon. W. F. Odell could be secured for the (ipurposes of the Exhibition, no site more suitable could be had ; nor one whicli would so combine the advantages of great natural beauty with titness : On application to Dr. Odell and the Hon. W. H. Odell upon this subject, tlio above most desirable piece of ground was at once, and most generously put at the disposal of the Society, without hire or rent, for the purposes of the Ex- hibition, ^provided tlie same was restored to the owners in as good a. state as . when given up to the Society : and further provided, that the present arrange- m ;M I "! 10 merit slunild not be allowed to interfere with the possible sale of the Lhd ir. ' tlie mean time. The committee have thankfully accepted tlie ground upon the above con- ditions. 'i The committee considered that a canvass tent was pr'cferoble in many*^ respects to eitlier a wooden building, or anything of the nature' of India ru'bber fabric. Ca jya ss tents are in general use for such purposes pla pv^j ^gre. and they are better adapted for moving and carrying about to different places ' of the r ountry than any other kind of erection. Before, hoWever, fitially de- termining upon the general character and dimensions of the^ building, it was ' considered desirable to consult the Secretary of the NeW Ybrk State Society in regard to some of the details. Accordingly he was addressed by the Vice President for St. John, and an extract fr'om his answer to' Mr. Jardirte (here- with given) puts us at once in command of almost the whole subject. " N«w York Statp A'^ncnltural Rooms, "Albany, Dec. 24, 1851. "Dear Sir, — I have your letter of the 19th inst., anB although, I cannot answer it fully to day, I thought best to give you all the iilformati6n I now have, and write again in a few days. ' " The Tent winch- ^ivte have for our Fairi,is 140x80 — SS-feet to the extteme of the tent, 12 feet walls. " A Tent of this size of tho-bSat qtiality of cotton Duck, flat seamed, with rigging complet 3 to sustain a moderate brSeze can be purchased here io»' $725,00. It would be done in the best et^le — if not satisfactory as to work and materials when dorlte''— no sale. " As to the Tent with transepts, I crajiftiot give you an answer, until the gentleman whom I have consulted, and v/ho .has made all tlie new Tents for our State anf>-' County Societies, has made his estimates — which he will complete, a? soon-'as he can ptepare a Vnotlfel, from which he will be able to give the cost. . v i , "The Tent like ours, can be prepared and ready to be delivered in vG weeks from the time cPfhe order. The other probably would take two week.s longer to prepare. • " Our Tent is a very cohvenient one and can be arranged internally very eisjly and very tistefiilly." • "The Tents can be obtained of "E. C. Williams Rochester N. York." A letter addressed to him through me, will be forwarded at once, and 'I can a?*3ure you of his faithfulness in doing what he undertakes." * # # * # # * «_ The comrtiitfee had contemplated a tent with transepts, nnd of propoitions not very difterent from those of tlie Tent used by the N. Y. State Society : It will perhaps be better now to give up the idea of transepts, and leave the proponions tor a future day. A large Pavilion therefore, such as the above, with open pens or stalls fot cattle, &r. in its vicinity, will constitute all the buildings required. 'X Tiie committee consider that the charges connected with the snid «L. orection should be defrayed by means of a special appropriation from the Provincial Treasury : the Pavilion would thus become public property, and iiiiglit be coiiveyed from time to tiine into such counties us were lixed upon a.s the seat of the periodical Exhibitions of our Art, Industry , nd.
