judged the premium of 81 90 for the best
summer apples to John C. Ripley. AS there

to justify it, they did not award the premium

great excellence, bnt the commtte. did not
deem themselves authorized to confer pre-
MUM upon specific variety. They would
however, note, as worthy of especial mention,
the Beurre Clifford, of Messrs. Butman, Rip
ley, and Workman. The Boodgood of Mr..
Butman looked well, but was unrpe.
The display of apples was remarkable.

fruit were the River of Mr.. Stebbns; the
