Mechanics.
The Committee on Mechanical Produc-
tons would respectfully report, that they
have attended to the duties assigned them,
| and would recommend the award of the fol-
lowing premiums
To Edward Lippincott, of St. Anthony, for
two-horse open carriage, which was manu-
featured wholly in that place, your committee
think, for workmanship, that they have not
seen anything of the kind which was wholly
manufactured in Minnesota, equal to it, and
would therefore award premium of s..
TO. j. A. NJ. Hoisington, of st. Paul, for
Merchants Ledger, s.. We cannot speak
in too high terms of this production. The
ruling was all done in Mr.. Hoisington's Bin
derry at St. Paul in fact, any thing to insure
perfect bound book can be done by him,
and we would recommend all those in want
Of perfect article in the way of letlgers,
journals, or day-books, to call and So his
work.
To. E. F. Grain, of Minneapolis, for Tie
manufacture of plain gold ring, premium
of s.. Mr.. Grain exhibited two excellent
silver Watches one large lever railroad time
piece. which are said to he the best of time
keepers the other was steel chronomcter,
which is different construction from any
; thing We had seen. We would particularly
recommend those who are judges of fine
watches to call and examine the same at Mr..
Grains.
To Mr.. Plumer, of Brooklin, for specimens
of cor1l-brooms of his own manufacture, a
premium Of s.. When we take into con-
sideration that Mr.. Plumer is quite young
man, not over II years of age, it seems that
all who have to use such an indispensable
article as broom will most certainly patron
ize the boy.
Miniature horse and OK shoes made by
lad IL years old, son of Mr.. Brown, the
blacksmith, of Minneapolis, displayed con-
siderable mechanical ingenuity for one so
young. We would recommend a premium
of s..
Ok shoes by G.. a. Brown, of Minneapolis,
shows that Mr.. B. is master of his trade
We would recommend all who may want ar
ticles in his line to give him CALL
Mr.. E. Jordan, eff Minneapolis, exhibited
some of the finest made horse shoes that we
have seen in the Territory. We call the par
ticular attention of those owning good horses
to the fact
Mr.. T. C.. Jones, of Minneapolis, exhibited
some of the unrivalled brick of the Minnie
apolis company, of the most durable charac-
ter; they also make an article of fire brick
Try them, gentlemen.
Mr.. j. F. Bradley, of Minneapolis, exhib-
tied most excellent one-horse buggy of his
own manufacture in Connecticut; also new
style of lghtning-rod. We would say to all
those in want of buggies, or that are fearful
of thunder and lightning, just call on Mr..
Bradley.
Messrs. Davie & Caleff, Of Minneapolis,
exhibited a variety of stoves, from the kitch-
en- to the parlor, of the latest and most APP
proved kinds; also a corn-sheller, borcing
machine, crosscut saws, and in fact every
thing which the farmer or mechanic may
want. We would say to all those in want
of articles in their line, just give them a
CALL
A chain and anchor cut out of wood, by
P. A. Deauguc, exhibited mechanical inee-
nuity, patience and perseverance.
Mr.. A. Crafts, of Minneapolis, exhibited
patent window-sash lock; also, Mr.. Vand-
erere, Of st. Anthony. Both are well worth
the attention of all who are building.
4 FRANKLIN STEELE, Chairman.
Tie committee on fine arts, having been
taken from different parts of the Territory
could not be got together, which will answer
as an apology for the meagerness of the re- |
port:-

j. W. Mcneil of ST. Anthony, had on ex-
hibition case of Daguerreotype licensees
and different views of the Falls of St. Antho-
ny, Minnehaha, the Suspension Bridge. &c.. |

ton, recommended First Premium.
