they will receive.
Owing to the rule Of the Society, bad
one, VIC think, which excludes the name
of the owner from the entry tag attached
to the article on exhibition, We cannot
make proper mention Of mauy things we
would like to; but the awarding commit
tees have donbtlcssly presented them in
their award, which is herewith published.
In the mechanical department L. Il.
Foster q Co. had several specimens of
marble work which would do credit TO
any establishment in New England. A
small rustic monument and one on which
was carved a book with delicate wreath
attracted deserved attention. W II. Par.
ker of Cambridge made large display of
tin-ware and patented articles from his
shop and ftore, including three ofJewett's
patent milk pans, for which he has the
agency in this county and the towns of
Waterbury and Middlesex in w Washington
County. NH. Cady of Stowe had sew
eral specimens from his carriage shop.
"Matt., we understand, took them from
the regular stock which is kept for sale,
and they were just what can be bought at
any time, for the usual prices. Mouton
Il Richardson, also Of Stowe, made fine
display of harnesses some of which, we
believe, we're the same which carried off
the premiums at the State Fair.
The Wood mower was the only one on
exhibition, entered by II A. Waterman,
agent at johnson.
The Weed, Howe, and Wheeler &
Wilson sewing machines made quite a
buzzing in the corner allotted to them.
Specimens of work done on the Weed
machine attracted much attention. The
Wheeler & Wilson machine was exhibit
ted by Thos. W. Mckee, agent for the
county, who we are informed took orders
for twenty four machines during
the two days of the Fair, which
speaks well for the agent or the machine
and doubtlessly both are entitled to
share of the honor.
The large and small photographs and
stereoscopic views exhibited by f. N. Por-
ter, photographer, we're rare specimens of
art and were appreciated by both the pub
lie and the awarding committee. 1t is
only recently that the large photographs
have been made in the county, and we
hope will be patronized in preference to
sending out cf the State for, work of an
inferior quality, for which a greater price .
is asked.
Very many other meritorous articles
were on exhibition but our space will not
admit mention of them at this time.
The address by Mr., Clark was excel.
lent--even better than the one delivered
by the celebrated agriculturalist who ,
spoke at ST. Johnsbury 1t will be pub !
