WINES
The committee on native wines beg leave to re-
port that the best sample Of grape wine was fur
nished by Mrs Daniel Brown, and Mrs. w. F.
Barr for bes: sample Of blackberry wine. The
wines were generally very fine, particularly that
OF Mrs. ]. P. Reed and others. The committee
would suggest that wine makers put less saccha-
rine matter with their wine. as the committee
think the most OF the wines exhibited were too
sweet.
