AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Of NEW SOUTH WALES.
The following letter and its enclosure, from the Secretary to the Agricultural Society of New South Wales, are published in the Gazette for general information. "Sydney, 13th July, 1876.
" Sir, —I have the honor to inform you that in accordance with the promise made by you in your letter of the 6th March, that on some future occasion you would kindly endeavor to induce the people of your colony to forward exhibits to our Annual Intercolonial Show, the council of this association have requested me to forward to you some preliminary notices of the Exhibition of 1877, with a prayer that you be good enough to cause them to be put into the hands of persons taking an interest in such matters. " We know that in all matters wherein the progress of New Zealand is concerned you take a lively interest ; this must be our plea for troubling you in this matter; —if you will kindly let us know to whom we might apply directly, without encroaching on your valuable time, when we have to appeal to your people. " Our council is well aware that your colony has made an effort to be represented like all the others in Philadelphia; but we do not quite see that this should prevent exhibitors taking part in our annual gatherings. A great deal more good can arise in opening up a profitable market here than in America for your arts and industries. America and Europe may do very well for our raw products, but in all other matters we can take from the older countries, but we having nothing to send. "Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, and even our most distant neighbor on the Western Coast, find it to their advantage to meet on the Prince Alfred park every year. The absence of New Zealand has often been remarked. We take the liberty to make another appeal to your well-known patriotism in order to fill up the gap in 1877. —I have, &c,
"Jules Joubebt, Secretary." " The Hon. Sir Juliiu Vogel, K.C.M.G., " Wellington, New Zealand."
