lIolyokc, Mrs. Mcconnell, Judges.
The judges make special mention
of a photograph of Snoqualmic Falls,
by Mr.. Robinson, of Seattle. This
picture is well executed. The falls
arc SO interesting that, in their opin-
ion, this picture will be much priced
at home and abroad.
The judges recommend that diplo-
mas be awarded as follows:
| For photographs and ivorytyrcs, to
George Moore, Of Seattle, diploma OF
Is. Glass; to George Robinson, of
Olympia, ed Glass diploma for me-
dallions, to John Patterson, Olympia,

accom-, 1st Glass diploma.

Your committee, at the risk of
travelling out of their province, have
much admired the curious and inter
esting use to which Mrs. 7. +. McEl,
roy, Mrs. \. Il. Elder, Mrs. Randall
II. Hewitt, and Mrs. George A.
Barnes have put the native grasses OF
the country. The Rattlcsnakc grass,
cultivated by Mrs. George A. Barnes,
is a curiosity as we'll as an object OF
very great beauty. Sea and wood
moses also, appropriated to another
committee, have been noticed by us,
and it is a matter of satisfaction that
we are not called upon to decide be-
tween the claims of Mrs. Gitldings,
Mrs. Coulter, Mrs. ID. B. Finch and
Mrs. DR.. Steele. Autumn leaves arc
hardly flower work, and We cannot
refrain from comment upon the beau
titnl wreaths and other forms in
which these arc exhibited. The
wreath of Mrs. A. Ii. Steele is wor-
thy Of mention.
