REPORT OF FAIR COMMITTEE
SquarZa's Punches.

THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Il by the Mechanics Institute, on the occasion
of the last Fair, to examine and decide upon Com
pounds and California Inventions, consisted of DR..
Isaac Rowell, Dr. Beverley Cole, and VIM. h.
Keith, Esq. The following is an extract from the
Report of these gentlemen: The Liquors, Punch
Is, Tonic Bitters, Cordials. ETC., prepared by v.
Squarza, are, without exception the finest articles
in their line the Committee have ever examined.
All of Mr.. Squarza's preparations have these great
merits over other compounds of , similar charao-
ter; lst That none but the best and purest liquors
are used. I'd. That no Sugar, Syrup or Sweeten-
ing principle is used except that obtained by
macerafion of sweet fruits, hence the nutritious
principles contained in the fruits are also impaired
to the Punches. That the following materials are
also obtained by macersting the various fruits,
flowers, plants and herbs which contain them. in
stead of using the ordinary expressed essential
oils The great skill Of Mr. Squarza consists in
his ability TO blend harmoniously, and in the due
preparation the various materials used, SO that
there are none wanting and none IN excess Some
Of his preparations are medicinal, and deserve
especial AID favorable mention.
