eies of apples, Oscar p. Morse thirty-three,
d. R. Tyler of Warren thirty four, Verney

lard, Jr., fifteen varieties of pears; Verney
Fiske, nine varieties Harvey Hartshorn, six.
Smaller quantities were exhibited by large
number, and there was quite display of
peaches, plums, and grapes.
There was not so large a display of flowers
as on previous occasions. Miss Lucretia Che
ney exhibited pillar covered with moss,
wreathed with flowers, and surmounted by
vase Of fruit, over which hung a wreath com
posed of very fine dahlias and asters. The
lady of Rev. Thomas Morong exhibited de-

the form of an arch and Mrs w. r. Patton a
pair of bouquets, one composed of very choice
and perfect dahlias.
The display of vegetables was very good
equal in quantity and quality to that of previ-
GUS years, with less profusion of the over
grown specimens. Bread was not displayed in
such quantities as last year, and the ornament
al department was far behind other years
