hsw fur some people will carry their envy. Our res-
son for making this remark in consequence Of the
conduct(o which have been credbly infsrmed) sf

such piece Of work before some of the trade called
at Mr.. MS store to examine it and after getting

the brow Of the ingenious tradesman, and deprive
him of the gold medal, by net entering into competi-

satisfaction of any persons calling at Mr.. MS store
