Exhibition of Will Furnis1liuss, &c.

| hare noticed that Mr. John i. More and |
Messrs. T. ". Baxter !S Co. appeared iu the |
columns Of the rREss ASn Tn1BCSE {of the 10th |
aud l1lh Oct.) as claimants to special l,nbors |
for their respective exhibitions OF Mill Furnish
ings and Machinery ut the late United States
Falr-cach firm assuming superiority iu every
respect over al competitors, referring with ex-
ultation 10 ''premiums'' awarded it, and Jet
both complaining that they were in some man
ner f'yictsmlzed' or unfairly treated by the
Committees und other officers Of the Society.
Nj. Suyc, it appears, was by the Executive
Committee awarded bronze medals for st.oAd
best Portable FIGURING Mill and s<ro.d best
Steam Engine; also u certificate aud diploma
for exhibiting Miilstoues and Fixtures. lie had
expected to receive several st!rtr medals for
.E,st best articles OF all kinds; and Ae had as
it is stated, expended hundred dollars OF
more upon his .'show." We therefore need not
wonder tnat his feelings are hurt by dsappoint-
| ment.
Messrs Baxter Co.'S publication isteughy
and particular; reciting the list Of articles ex-
tibited By them. aud claiming that for each and
a,l ,save one) B. i Go. were awarded the first
| premiums by the examining committees, hut
HAT for some unknown reason those awards
| have not been confirmed or announced by tbe
IeI*eutift Committee Of the Society. Thcy
dwell especially upon the assertion that Com
mittee No. - made no less than eight awards
III their favor, after lavin:, :" examined oil us.i-
c!cs Of the same description on exhibitor"
and they wonder that notwithstanding this, tue
society had uctually made the uward for Mill
| Furnishings 10 !. i. livmer, whose show OF
goods was, in the op'nlon Of u. L Co.. very
mean indeed.
They dwell also upon the subject of Boiling
Cloths-sayin. they exhibited samples Of bo:A
Dusour nnd Dutch Anker brands, aud that Alr.
hughes, chairman Of Committee No. III, at-
tachcd the blue ribbon laward ribbon) to the
| "Dutch .tnkcr."
Mrssrs. Baxter / Co. are troubled with many
complaints, some Of which, however, are Iot
| definitely suited. Upon Mr.. Poore {,he Secre-
tary,, for instance. they tcstow large measure
Of petulent reproach; get ttcy do not precisely
inform US Of The nature Of Mr. Poore's ofcnse.
| But it is veil understood that they were unsuc-
cessfut in their approaches to that gentleman
for u favor Of some kind. lie recognized their
"pecu!iarity,' aud rejected their addresses.
A1essrs i. / Co. make some statements that
are wi.ie from the TRUTH Wlitutly unfair, aud cal
cuIa,cd onlr to deceive the pubic. While car.
: rccting them, it may be that shall expose
| something Of the method adopted BY that firm
to obi ain undue advantages over other exhibit
. ors who are their rivals in business.
First, they mis- state tue extent and eharas,e' /
Of the exhibition of goods by" l. B. A5mer.
