Moulton's claim to be well founded in
the main points.
Mr.. III. r. Thurber, of New York,
shows collection of pure whisky made
in Kentucky by the old copper distilla-
ton process. This brand, called the
Century" has the prestige of the first
prize taken at the Vienna Exposition.
The owners claim for it perfect purity
from fusil oil and other authorizations.
They sell only to town agents and re-
cognized druggists, ETC., desiring to fur

those who would otherwise be obliged
to use the common and adulterated arti-

The self-lighting lamp, of Messrs.
Chapman 81 Lewis, of Rutland, attract
ed much attention and was not little
wondered at.
The Howe Manufacturing Company
of Brandon, show some twelve kinds of
scales of all sizes and capacities from
the P. o. balance to the platform. They
also have three new patterns of trucks
for baggage, one of which appears more
than usually meritorious.
The National Yeast Company of Troy
occupied considerable space with their
goods, the feature of their proceedings
being the free distribution of innumer-
able small packages of yeast to every
woman who approached within distance.
If wide dispensation of their goods is
an advantageous advertisement the n.
Y. Co., have laid the foundation of a
valuable trade. This article comes with
the endorsement of a first premium
from the New England Fair.
L. G. Kingsley, of this place, was the
exhibitor of the handsomest and best
arranged assortment of carpenters and
machinists' tools possible. Two large
cases were occupied with the lot and
they attracted much attention from their
tasty arrangement as well as from their
novelty and intrinsic value as nipple
ments. Mr.. Kingsley also showed the
Excelsior Lawn Mower for hand or
horse power. In the same connection
Mr.. Kingsley showed a very handsome
set of bedroom furniture of black wal
nut with burl trimmings and marbletop,
perhaps the most ornamental ever pro-
duced in this place Another set of
parlor furniture was more snowy in its
upholstering and effectivein appearance,
though hardly more chaste in design.
Weeks & Barber, of this place, also
showed some fine furniture, consisting
of an imitation chestnut bedroom set,
handsomely painted by Louis Martell,
and a tasteful black walnut set with
burl trimmings and green reps for up
holstery.
The marble interest of this town,
which should have been the feature of
the home contributions, was supported
by n. S. Stearns, who sent some seven
teen pieces of black and white marbles,
fashioned for table and bureau tops and
mantels. The Burlington Manufacturing
Company were also contributors in a
small way, as well as w. n. Oliver and
F. Barney, both of whom had fine tomb
stones in the hall, the former being
specially noteworthy for excellence in
fine carving.
The carriage exhibition, though hardly
very extensive, was remarkably good.
The people of this State are getting TO
find out that as fine work is made here
as is imported. The French Carriage
Company, of Grafton, had on view two
carriages and two sleighs which were
notable for their excellence in painting
ard upholstery. OF these, as of the
others, no one could pronounce certainly,
inasmuch as wood and iron work are IL
able TO applications of putty. This COM
pany has, however, a reputation of
twenty-five years standing, and since
their work is known and recognized as
standard in this State, it is fair to infer |
that these samples were up to the grade. |
Messrs. Dewey & Dewey, of East |
Poultney, have entered two-seat car
riage and sleigh, which for beauty of |
are not easily excelled. In |
the matter of ease of riding, as far as
one could judge, they are unsurpassed |
and their finish was very good.
Some space was taken up in this hall
by the Capron patent turbine water
wheel. The exhibitor showed three
wheels of excellent workmanship and
finish. 1t is claimed for these wheels
that they are superior by reason of their
detachable buckets and their general
economy of power.
Mr.. Willard, of Fairhayen, showed in
the center division several children's
sleds, with iron beams and braces, and
made with reference to cheapness and
