LOCAL MATTERS.

| Honry oefyered an address in explanation
TOE oo)ects contemplated by the organization, an
IN tpe course OF the evening the following repo
OF the Committee on Judges snd Awards was reae
The Committee on Judges and Awards, VIII
1 were appointed under the following resolution I
the Exhibition Committee viz:
| 'HesotOed, That this committee do now procee
to appoint Committee on Judges and Awards
whose duty it shall be to select suitable judges i
the several classes of articles exhibited to draw
proper instructions for said Judges, to see that
articles for competition fairly and impartial
examined, and to make, for objects of merit cue
awards as they may deem appropriate and advisa
Die, and that the said committee are hereby in
vested with all the power necessary to carry ou
the object of their appointment beg leave re
| spectfuiy to report
The committee, Immediately upon their appoint
ment, entered upon the performance of their deli
cate and difficult duty. Had they consulted thei
| own preference, rather than their duty TO the In
| stitute, they would have declined task which
however ably and impartialy il may be performed
must always result in disappointment and regre
on the part OF many who have placed an exagge
rated estimate upon the value of their own bro.
auctions.
Conscious of no feeling but desire to promote
the best Interests of the Institution BY securing the
services OF able and impartial persons to examine
all the articles on exhibition the COMMITTEES nre
sent the results OF their labors. They cannot be
too warm In the expression of their thanks to the
gentlemen and ladies who promptly accented and
faithfully filled, the appointment Of Judges on the
several classes. When their large number is con-
sdered, and the fact that their services were vol
untary, and rendered in many cases at a sacrifice
OF valuable time, it will be apparent that thew de-
serve the gratitude of the Institute and of the com
munity.
the exhibition committee, have awarded to the
gentlemen depositors silver medals and diplomas
OF two grades, while to the ladies and juvenile de-
positors they have awarded articles of sverware
md hOoty
They are instructed to assign as reason for the
award OF silver medals only, the fact that the In
shtute Is yet young, and needs to husband its re
sources with more care than would perhaps be
necessary were 1t farther advanced in it's career
The hope is INDUCED that at future exhibition il
may be in circumstances to make AWARDS of greater
intrinsic value. The committee deem it hardly
necessary to say, that the pecuniary value of the
AWARD Is no measure OF the appreciation it is in
tended to indicate. The silver medal is considered
equivalent in that regard to the gold medal usually
awarded, and the frst.class diploma to the silver
medal. iC
Before enumerating the awards, the committee
would remark that 1t is quite possible that in so
large collection some articles of value may have
escaped without proper notice. In such cases thew
are willing to repair the error on the facts being
made known to them in writing. Any corrections
or additional awards that may result from such
communications will be Immediately published
With these remarks, the committee proceed to
the announcement of the awards:
