discovered they had an arduous task before
them, for the number Of Coun,erpsnes was
so grea, and SO close The contest, that it was
with difficulty they could select a, all, and
they are fearful now, after all their care and
particularly, they may have done injustice
TO some. But they have The satisfaction 10
know that if they have erred q, all it pro-
ceeds more from ignorance Of the matter in
hand than fIom any favorilism, for in the
first place, they took every precauiion
agains. knowledge Of ownership in order
10 prevent any charge OF Partially from the
fair competitors. In the second place, the
manufacture Of Quilts and Counterpanes falls
more TO the province of our wives than our
selves; hence our ignorance. Blu, after call
ing to our aid those most skilled in such
matters and getting all the information and
light on the subject We could obtain, we
have returned decision, and do award, in

On Fruit.

The Committee on Fruits, having enjoy

escuIent the Apple, canno. in gratitude and
candor, forbear 10 render that need of merit
to which the enterprise of our fellow ci,i-
zens so justly entities them. The pas. sea-
son, though proverbially unpropi.ious, has
ushered in its fruits in unexpected profnsiop,
and xcep,ionable quality. And although
no, perhaps so abundant as on former oc-
casions, we have cause to adore the great
Source Of all bounieous good. In viewing
the products a our own soil, and the work
of our own beloved ones, in our own coun-
,y, in our own venerable, patriotic and ever
loyal State, we are constrained irresistibly
to exclaim-Vive la Maryland
The duty now devolves upon US of rem
dering an accoun, Of our stewardship, in tho
Frui. department. In your list Of premiums,
as published in The s.Times," we find as fol.
lows: "For the best peck of Apples" and
COR the bes, 10, Of Assorted Fruit" There
being none Of the latter, we were compelled
to classify two kinds Of Apples, for the lst
and Cd premiums, contrary 10 the impIyed
regulations Of your Society. We therefore,
award The first premium to No. 2, (Mrs.
George P. Jenkins'), snd the second premi.
um to No. 5, Mrs. Mary J. Davis'. Your
committee regre. ,ha, four classes were not
designated, as there were four differen. lots
