Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1875-10-02


Athalfpast one wednesday the premiums were
announced from the Judges Stand, whichexercise
was followed by short exiemporaneous addresses
by Col. L. c. Bailey, OF Hopkint0n, editor and l
Of the n. II. Patriot and Hon. J. G.. /
Crawfor,l, OF Lancaster The remarks Of both |
were practical and well suited 10 the occasion. /
Both convinced their hearers that although agri- /
culture is not their prime occupation, yet what
they "lnow abput farming" has not been derived
wholly from books. Following the speaking
came the only race Of the fair between hor.es
owned within the society limits that never trotted
formoney, for which there were two entries, by
Geo. N. stevens aud George billiard. billiards.
horse won, but objection Ia been made to giving
him the first money, on the ground that the horse
doesntbelong in that class.
There were numerous articles ON exhi-
bition at the recent Fair of home manu-
facture, which, although not enumerated
i'm the premium list should have elected
special mention from the awarding COM
mittees. Thomas Morse, our skillful gun
smith, exhibited an elegant rifle of his
own manufacture, warranted to kill at
1000 yards. The Lancaster Spring Bed
Company, represented by r. NJ. J. Grant,
exhibited one of their patent Imperial
Spring Beds" which we know from ex-
perience is the best thing of the kind in
the market.
Files were on exhibition from the Ian
caster File Works, Moody, Cave & Ellis,
proprietors, cut to perfection. The work
done by this firm is said to be superior to
that of any other file works in this sec
ton of the country. B, p. Carr, of Lu-
nenburg, exhibited spinning-wheel OF
his own make, which was evidently a
great Improvement upon the style in use
in ''our grandmothers day" There is un-
doubtedly good market for this useful
article among the industrious and thirty
ing people of Lunenburg, and it would be
well if the demand for them was greater
| in other communities. The Committee
on Manufactured Articles must have over
looked those nice bars Of English Soda
Soap, presented by w. A. Bonett. 1t
should have been awarded premium.
