a LEAN sToYFs AGAINsTTHE MORBID.

n Albany has long been noted for the extent
OF ITS manufacture and the superiority Of its
stoves. Troy, Buffalo and Providence are also
great Stove marts, and the manufacturers IN
these places have given much attention to the
quality and perfectness OF their Stoves. At the
late State Fair at Buffalo the competition III
Stoves was unusually sharp and strong, and the
excitement ran high. All these different local.
ties was strongly represented with the best
Stoves, each manufacturer claiming they had
the best.
The Stove Committc was composed Of gentle
men of character. intelligence and practical
knowledge. and selected from different counties
in the interior Of the State far removed from
these different localisies- after an unusually
careful, thorough and searching examination,
they decided unanimously, that the American
Cooking Stove was the best Cooking stove for
both coal and wood; and that the Morning Light
was the best base burning stove, and that the
proved National Gas Burner was the best
coal heating StOve--ali manufactured By Shear,
Packard x Co, Of Albany.
On the fourth and last day Of the fair, after
the manufacturers Of these Stoves had left Tor
home the other manufacturers feeling sore over
their defeat, united and made a profess against
the award Of the committee, and got ne y
Committee appoi ted; this reconstructed Con-
mitiec went carefully Ove- the groa1d again and
came to the same conclusion, and fully confirmed
the report Of the first Committee. Tie manu-
facturers OF these stoves were not in Buffalo At
the time. and knew nothing Of the matter TIL
after the Fair was closed, and are not aware now
who composed this Committee.
When Il is borne in mind that this second
Committed fully endorsen the report OF the first
and the FIRST only endorsed the award OF i've
other different Committees ct the New York
State Fairs. for the five previous years, on the
American Cooking Stove, and three on the Nor
ming Light and on the American at the New
Jersey State Fair, where il was awarded two
first premiums in September lost, and at accent
State Fair in Pennsylvania, where 1t was brought
in competition with Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh Stoves, also great stove marts, sud car
ried off the first premium.
Ali these circumstances and cwards form an
array Of evidence which must settle conclusvely
the question of the superiority of these Stoves
over all others, and of which not only the man
ufacturers of these Stoves, but Albany may
Justly be proud. Albany Ereaing J0pIna-
