Fame Hose.-This beautiful carriage was up
on the ground and attracted much attention.
A description ofthe workmanship appeared in
our paper recently. 1t was manufactured by
Edward Young, of Philadelphia end cost 1900.
.Thefrontispiece is really handsome and the
top is large lamp, silver mounted, surmoun-
ted by an eagle holding in its beak a minia-
ture alarm bell, and beneath which is q floral
statue, and neat and correct likeness of Jas.
L. Morrow, Esq, the energetic Secretary of the
company. The portrait was painted by DR.. j.
Slocum, of this city. On the back locker is n
very ino painting of a female figure, and on
the right side badge portrait Of Washington,
and the left a female representing Lady Fame,
being the work of Mr.. hurry, of Philadelphia.
This company have also just procured beau
tifn silver trumpet, manufactured by Laurie K
Taylor of Philadelphia. 1t is really gorge
Gus piece of workmanship and reflects much
credit upon the above firm. Above the centre
is a shield and neat engraving with the words
"Fame Hose Company, Wilmington, Delaware,
instituted Jan. LIST, 1899" This splendid trum-
pet cost about $50. We are pleased to hear
that this energetic company have also procured
a spider which will be used in case the new
vehicle should be unfit for service. 1t cost
5000, and was manufactured recently by Mr..
Young, of Philadelphia
In the hurry of making up our report many
articles have doubtless been overlooked, but
the exhibitors in some instances may blame
themselves in not having proper lables or in
not bringing them in until late hour.
Among the trotting horses we observed the
fine pair of Washington Jones, John Merrick,
Alfred Wootten, the horse Of Arthur johns, +.
NJ. Bye, John s, Walters, George Griffin, Col
Ewes and others, whose names we do not re-
collect.
