Saturday, August 6th, was a proud day for the managers and friends of this Society. The display was by far the most imposing of the season, and in some of its features might have challenged a comparison with any similar display in Philadelphia, New York, or Boston. The show of peaches and plums was particularly fine in its appearance, and varied and profuse in quantity. The contributions from our friend L. Young, Esq., President of the Society, have been, as all our readers are aware, so uniformly creditable that we were not surprised to see in passing around the Societies tables his articles, clever as usual; but we confess we were surprised, and agreeably, too, on finding that so large a portion of the contributors of Saturday had been able to bring forward specimens which, in their kind, would compare favorably with those even of the President. We do not wish to seem inviduous by refering to a few where so many were deserving of notice. But we do not misinterpret the judgment of the very large and intelligent crowd of visitors when we designate as surpassingly beautiful, in their kind, the plate of pears contributed by Mr. George Here, the plums by Capt. William Gibson, of Charlestown, Ind, and Mrs. Ford, of Jefferson county, and the peaches of Mr. Jacob Johnson, Philip Speed, and E. D. Hobbs, Esq., all of Jefferson county.

Although the whole stock of admiration of the large concourse of visitors seemed exhausted upon fruits, yet this state of things did not result from any falling off in the beauty or variety of floral contributions. Among the lady contributors we noticed fine boquets by Mrs. Peat and Mrs. Edmonia Ormbby, and we were glad to see in their proper places the standing contributions of Messrs. Wilson, Nantz, and Bopert.

The sale at 11 o'clock went off very satisfactorily to all concerned, and when we consider the large display the bidding was very spirited. We noticed that a plate of peaches, consisting of ten or twelve, grown by Philip Speed, Esq., was purchased by one of our wealthy citizens at $2.50, and that another grown by the President was purchased by the same gentleman at $3.75. We noticed also that three small plates of Hamilton Smith's imported plum, Jaune Hative, containing five fruits each, and grown by the President, went off respectively at $2, $2.25, and $2.50, By the way, the fruit committee have decided that this plum, besides being of the largest class, (some measuring in circumference 7 inches one way by 6 1/2 the other,*) is of the finest flavor. There was, in our opinion, but one thing in the whole affair of Saturday which the managers of this Society can hope to alter for the better, and that was the comfort of the visitors. The Library Rooms, so generously granted to the Society without charge, are quite too small, and we are glad to learn that the executive committee have applied the only proper remedy, which was to procure more spacious and airy rooms, a task which they promptly performed in a few hours after the exhibition closed, and we are now authorized to say that the next exhibition and successive ones will be held at Mozart Hall, on the corner of Fourth and Jefferson streets. - Louisville Journal.
