and aroused the gratitude of thousands oI
visitors, was commenced, and by night scarcely
remnant of that grand Exhibition was left
The more valuable and important articles were
packed up and removed in all directions. while
the more perishable commodities were sold
out. The day was mostly occupied by the
officers of the Society in receiving, examining
and announcing the reports of the various
committees of award-a labor of a trouble
some and complicated character.
Below we.publish the result of the examina.
tlons made by the committees, and the awards
recommended. All these reports and recon-
mendations have to pass another and rigid
examination, by the Executive officers, for the
purpose of correcting errors, and modifying
the awards, where it is found necessary. The
list of articles to which premiums have been
awarded, though embracing everything of i'm
portance, does not include everything taking
prizes-there having been hundreds of articles
which we deem of too little consequence, or
general interest, to be entitled to place in a
general report. The following is the list:
