g. Suits Of Clothes The Committee an.
pointed to examine and award premiums on
domestic suits OF clothes, have much plea.
sure IN announcing to the society consid.
erahe improvement, upon the exhibition of
preceding fairs, in that branch of domestic
manufactures Our pleasure has, however.
been much diminished by the difficulty Of
deciding between several very superior suits,
and the fear of doing injustice whero there
was, apparently, so little difference.
To Col. VIM Woods suit of light grew.
we have awarded the FIRST premium Of rs.
ana cannot forbear taking occasion 10 com
Plifoent the excellency, as regards tertnre
TO Mr.. Reuben Lindsay, we award the %
premium of six dollars for his suit of blue or
superior dye Mr.. Lindsay's under clothe.
(shlrt ard drawers) entirely of wool wcro
excellent.
The third premium Of 81, we award 10
Col. James 0. Cars suit of dark orev
and such was the difficulty of decidinS be.
tween his, and that of Mr.. VIM. DaSnev.
OF the same colour, that we regret exceed.
'ngly, that we have not another premium at
our dlscretion and should DO very much
gra,ified if the society would award to Mr.
Dabney discretionary premium of the same
Of which is respecriifllv snb
milted DANIEL NJ. RAILEY.

RICHARD DUKE.
The above report was adopted by the soci.

in favor of MIR. Dabney; the society having
adopted regulation forbidding any discre
Iionary premium, except for an article of
new invention.
