ON FANCY ARTICLES.

The COMMITTEES on Fancy Articles have
carefully examined the various specimens on
exhibition, and have made awards impartial.
ly, aud to the best Of their judgment on tho
s:lne.
They sincerely trust that every deserving
article has received its proper communication
Many very pretty things were brought IN ut
n late hour, long after the first examination
and awards was made, and they trust tor this
reason, to be forgiven if any article, orna-
mental 10 the tables, or bearing witness to
the industry, ingenuity or taste OF the party
entering il, shall have been overlooked; and
in this connection the committee earnestly
suggest that. in the future, all articles des-
tined for exhibition deserving premium, be
entered at the opening of the Fair. course
which. il pursued. would greatly lessen the
fatiyuing duties OF the Committee, and pre-
vent the possibility OF any article being over
looked. -, :,
Tho COMMITTEES hope that the little girls
who have done 81 well this year, will do still
better the next, and that many pretty and
useful articles the next Fair will testify to
the industry OF their little fingers and the
aged women likewise. may be able to bring
in their warm stockings, rugs aud CON-
forters.
Anon. many beautiful articles contrihut.
ed, a case of worstod work, consisting OF
handsome breakfast c ,pes. scarls, mittens and
an elegant sacquc and cap. all nf home man
ufacture. brought in by Mr. llock Hills, de-
serves more than passing notice.

The display Of fancy articles will compare
