We learn the name of the lady who
made the beautiful wreath of combed
worsted, of which we spoke of yesterday
It was made by Mrs. Ella Brigham, Rut-
land, and over it was placed another
wreath, of equal beauty, made by Mrs. NJ.
E. Blanchard.
Mrs. w. G. Veazey had some nice
worsted work on exhibition.
Mrs. NJ. j. Foster, Rutland, exhibited a
nice silk bed-quilt
| Mr.- J. s. Paris, white bed Quilt.
Mrs. }. l.. Billings, 2 tatting collars,
also nice specimen of needle work, on
night dress.
Mira. Edison, toilet cushion slso a beau
tiful worsted rose
Mrs. R. A. Livermore had on exhibi-
ton nice case of wax flowers.
Mrs. ID. K. Hall exhibited three nice
oil paintings and specimen of penciling.
Miss Amelia Dyer contributed two oil
paintings and two pieces of pencllina.
There were some nice bouquets on ex-
hibition. the largest of which was from
Mrs. L. Townshend, Wallingford.
| Francis Fem & Co, have on exhibition
nice case of Medicines and Toilet arti-
| cles.
In addition to the foregoing there were
many articles in the Floral Hall that had
no cards attached, and we had no means
of ascertaining the names of the exhibit
ors; others were hung so high that we
could not read the names. There were
also many things properly belonging to
the Mechanics Hall to which we have
made no allusion, not because we
think them unworthy, but because
we felt that our days work should or
would be complete after having examined
and reported upon the foregoing. Farm
ing tools, the most important articles, we
have not noticed in this report, but saw
the moving machines, plows, &c,
upon the ground, but did not examine to
see by whom they were exhibited The
poultry we did not examine, nor did we
notice any dogs that were on exhibition. /
except that great, good-natured BON .
hu4," Russian bloodhound, belonging
TO Joseph Wa-semer. of Rutland. We
took his measurement, and found him to .
be from tip TO tip, feet ? inches (
and stands p feet high at the shoulders.
We call him the best specimen of dog oil /
the ground.
