The Committee on Discretionary Pre-
NUNS and Awards, report:
That they have examined, with as
much care as possible, a number Of arti-
cles not included in the regular premium
list, and find several worthy Of notice and
reward.
Mrs Elizabeth Coleman exhibited zone
worsted embroidered picture"-a very
fine specimen Of skillful '~handiwork .
Mr.. Peleg Redfeld different products Of
his garden, including apple pie melons,
California c%itrons, rutabaga, sweet corn
and pumpkins, common and M pins ultra
cucumbers. These products furnish sat-
isfactory proofs of skillful and well dir.
eeted Industry, and affords additional eyi-
dence of the already established fact that
the invincible soil Of Nebraska is as va.
rious in capacity as il is prolific and rich
in production.
Mr.. James Anderson exhibited ar ex-
cellent quality of butter, made from apple
pie melons. II bears some resemblance
to peach butter, and is delicious in favor.
One solid limestone gate-post, cut and
finished by Mr.. George Clinton, is entitl-
ed to especial notice and commendation.
The material was procured from his ex-
cellent and inexhaustible quarry. within
six miles Of Nebraska City.
A fine saddle mule, Of small SIZE, but
possessing great powers Of endurance,
was placed on exhibition by Mccall Rasin
Il attracted general and favorable notice.
Messrs. Davis & Teese's bay getting,
Ben. Bolt, was the fastest trotting nag
exhibited.
The Committee had the pleasure Of
taking reliable testimony on the claimG
Judge H G Wolph, Of Cass county. to the
"best cultivated farm Of 40 acres" The
evidence vas very satisfactory, and fully
j%ustifies a favorable report. We do not
pretend to %enu.nerate the good points Of
this excellent farm, but We cannot omit
to mention that fine fencing and plowing,
and "constant attention to keeping out az
kinds of weeds" were some few Of the
evidences furnished by Judge Wolph IN
favor Of his claim to ''the best cultivated
farm"
To each one Of the persons named, we
recommend that asuitable diploma should
be awarded.
In closing their report. your Committee
beg leave to say, thar this first Territorial
Fair Of Nebraska, though not a complete
success, is faFfrom a failure. Taking all
things into consideration, it is a marvel
that we have done half so we'll The
Territory is but a little more than five
years old. During the first half Of her
existence, she "a exposed to the prevail
ing epidemic Of wild and insane spscula-
ton; and for the lasttwo years she has
suffered under the prostration consequent
upon a long run Of financial dissipation
and folly. But instead Of yielding 10 the
almost fatal effects Of low times after
high times, the people Of Nebraska betooz
themselves to their fields, and forsaking
all the delusive schemes ofspeedy fOrtune
by speculation, followed that never falling
friend, the plough, to prosperity and In
dependence.
This Territorial Fair is a part Of the
first fruits. Energy, perseverance,, and
the awaiting courage which never sinks,
begin to reap their great reward. Tn ev-
cry element Of prosperity. the presehl
exceeds our utmost ~anticipations. The
future is filed with encouragement and
promise.
