After thorough inspection of the sewing
machines on exhibition it is our opinion that
Grover Il Bakers sewing machines is the
best for all purposes, viz: Family and gen
eral work. But we consider wheeler &
Wilson's its equal for manufacturing purpo-
SEES. We therefore recommend that Grover
& Baker receive premium of SIS 90 and
Wheeler Wilson premium of $3 90.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON DIS.
CRETIONARY PREMIUMS.
The Committee would respectfully report,
that the large scope caused by the program
me of premiums offered left but few articles
among the many hundreds on exhibition for
them to examine.
Among these they would name as especial
ly deserving, Colonel Outten's patent detach-
ing pillow double tree, an excellent arrange
ment Immediately detaching the horses from
the double tree in case of fright or any other
cause for detaching them instantly. Also
the patent detaching single tree for buggies,
so arranged that in case OF the horses run
ming away, he can be Immediately detached
from both buggy and single three by simply
pulling a strap pendant from the dash board.
Both the above articles are exceedingly in
genious. The automatOn car break, for in
stantly arresting train OF cars by the power
of the locomotive, which was exhibited by the
same gentleman, is worth OF notice and IN
mendation.
The patent grain measurer, exhibited ny
David Murray, of Hyde county, North Carol-
ma, seems to be most excellent arrangement
for the very rapid and accurate measure
ment, OF grain-a very ingenious and uselul
article, and worthy premium OF 80.
"Crotchet moss mats" exhibited by Miss
Mamie Butler,are very beautiful and unique
articles.
Superior Norfolk bound books, exhibited
by Clark d Walters, bookbinders, Norfolk,
were apparently cotton up in superior style
and worthy OF notice.
Among the pictures on exhibition we no.
ticed superior oil paintings by Mr. Boneau, OF
Norfolk, paintings on CLASSIFY Master Tura-
