STATE FAIR.
Floral HaII Premiums.

Floral Hall Premiums
The following is a list of premiums awarded on
the last day of the State Fair for articles exhibited
in the Floral Hail. 1t should be borne in mind that
this list embraces only the award of the premiums,
and, therefore, gives no idea of the extent Of the
competition. In nearly all the classes there were
large number Of competitors, and we should have
been pleased to have published all the entries, but
the Secretary of that department has complied only
the names of the successful competitors.
An article on fairs in a recent number of the Co
lumba Herald, gives the following good advice,
which we commend to the unsuccessful competitors
at our late Fair. They should not be discouraged
by the failure to get a premium, but should "try
again" Every one cannot get premium, and the
contest should not be given up because of failure
this year. The Herald says
s.If any article of yours fails to get premium.
good reader do not fret and fume and charge the
Judges with partiality, and declare that you will
never show anything again. Such conduct is very
naughty, very childish and moreover does good.
The better course would be to go and examine the
premium article as carefully and as impartially as
possible that you may discover wherein its superb
ority consists and when you have found it out, as
in nine cases out of ten you WILL just go to the own
er and get from him his plan of culture manutac-
ture. and resolve to improve your own article so
that it shall deserve the premium next time. Do this
and YOU will be happier, better and wiser, and will
be far more likely to get the blue ribbon. And what
is more YOU will feel that you in reality amem-
Der of the Society and have interest in its well
fare
Now let those who failed resolve to try next year,
and in this way our farmers and mechanics VIII
succeed in their several avocations beyond all pre-
cedent
