Your " Wording Gardener" talks both sensibly and practically on the subject. Frequent and manifest injustice is practiced by the "judges," or viewing committees, at all our exhibitions, both horticultural and agricultural. One difficulty, I imagine, arises from the want of a standard by which to judge of the just properties of the thing in competition, which is the fault of the managers of the concern - yet not always their fault, for they do often try to establish that standard. Bat the main difficulty is, in obtaining disinterested and competent judges of the article under examination. And this, in the present low state of the requisite judgment in such mat ters, in this country, is hard to be corrected. We are improving somewhat in this particular, but it is a most difficult thing, now, to select competent to judges, as those who are at all experienced in these exhibitions, are aware. When we shall have educated a sufficient number of our people to understand what the proper qualities and characteristics of the articles which come under their review should be, then we shall have something like truth and justice in their awards; - but not till then.

True, there are many such in attendance upon our exhibitions; but they are usually professional men, who are either competitors, or if not so, are directly or remotely interested in the success of certain things exhibited, and thus are disqualified in the minds of more or less of the competitors, from passing an opinion.

The proper indviduals to settle all such questions, are amateurs, who possess sufficient knowledge and taste in the various subjects of display, to decide upon correct principles. Their position and judgment would then give to their decisions an authority quite satisfactory to all fair competitors.
