The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1861-10-10

Y We find many articles of beauty and usefulne
. on the table to-day, which arrived too late to
entered for premiums, but which we feel II incur
bent on us to make few remarks -
One pair of stockings presented by Mis-. MOO
e of Bristol, we think well deserving premium
A sample of stocking yarn and one pair of woo
i en- socks presented by Mrs. j. NJ. Kellogg OF Brl
!, toll were from some cause not tlcketed, but whic
i is every way we'll deserving our notice and con
pine cone basket of grapes and berries presen
ed by Mrs Ehenezer Kngman we consider yer
elegant and neat piece of work. Also an eephar
by the same lady. This does much to redeem th
Fair; had heard many complaints about
which had cast gloom over us until we cam
across this piece. But this scattered the cloud
from our brow, for who could go away dissatlstie
when they had at so small fee been admitted an
had actually seen the elephant.
Your committee cannot close their report with
out expression of sorrow for the very meagr
show of articles in this department. The article
presented almost without exception, possess extra
ordinary merit both in taste and design, and In 81
much perhaps equals any exhibition OF the Society
Our sorrow however, is much mits ated by thu
fact that our lady friends have only neglected GU
fair temporarily, for the reason that their time ha
been for months past devoted to the devlsing, ma
king and procuring manifold comforts for our brave
volunteers manifestng their interest in those who
go forth to sustain liberties and thus In the
only way in their power exhibiting their sympa-
thes by administering to the necessities OF their
|
friends who now form the front ranks IN the I'M
holy war now devastating our country.

ducts would respectfully award to

| We would also recommend the award of pre-
MUM TO c. NJ. Fowler for best specimen of peach

| The committee think that a sample of Mexican
| potatoes, fine basket of grapes of one variety,
and some fine pumpkins are worthy of special
mention.
| Samples of the Isabella Clinton, Catawba, Con-
| cord, Northern Muscadne and Logan varieties OF
! grapes, and of the far famed Delaware variety-a
small red and luscious grape, specially adapted to
northern latitudes-were presented for the inspee
ton OF the committee, and commanded their ad-
miration. The producer-a member of the com
mittee, with sense of propriety equal to the fla
vor OF his grapes-retused TO enter them for com
petition.
In concluding, the committee would desire to
express their satisfaction with the evident success
OF culilvators in this county, with grapes and
pears. The latter seem to be adapted to the soil
and climate end it would seem that this fact-with
the remunerating price at which they can be sold
coupled with their excellent qualities arti-
Gle of diet should lead horticultursts to study to
increase largely the annual product-and thus to
some extent help to fill the large demand for fruit
for home consumption.
Mr. IL. u. Emmons of Bristol filed a table, but
TOO late TO be admitted for premiums, with beau
tul display of ruit-34 varieties of apples of large
size and delicate flavor 3 varieties Of pears and
of grapes One beautiful variety of Seeding apple
we consider well deserving premium, and had
Mr. Emmons arrived earlier we should no doubt
have awarded him more than one premium.

The undersigned committee on swine beg leave
to report: ....a. .-. ,
Their duties were not very arduous. There were
but three swine entered for premiums, viz One
white Suffolk boar and two black Essex pigs-one
boar and one sow-all of which were very fine
| animals.
Your committee are not as well posted in regard
to the qualities of the Essex breed as they are of
the Suffolk. But with the exception of color they
would esteem them every way equal the Suffolk,
and would therefore recommend them as worthy
