To say that the great majority of exhibitors
here are dissatisfied with the awards OF the
judges is stating the case very mildly. That
all could not be pleased was inevitable because
all could not get medals. But as TIL ee-fourths
of the exhibitors received awards, and the
medals are of equal merit, many Of the Prize
holders are displeased, because when awards
are so nearly universal they become com
paratively worthless. Indeed, there is more
dissatisfaction among those who received
medals than among those who received
none. Those who had superior exhibits
are offended because those having inferior
goods, in the same class, received equal
nonors And some of the really deserving got
no medals while some that every Intelligent
person that has examined their exhibits knows
did not deserve medals got them. And so little
confidence had como of the most deserving and
worthy exhibitors IN the justice and value OF
the awards that they refused to compete, pre-
ferring to let their goods stand on their. own
merits having more faith in discriminating
public than in the decision OF the judges. ap-
pointed as they are under this system. That
served them is undoubtedly true. And in some
departments the distinguished scientific char
acter of the judges was strikingly illustrated
by the discriminating ver3icts they rendered
But there was not enough OF this class to re-
deem the general and wholesale bestowal of
medals from being looked upon as farce. It
is hoped that the reports which are to contain
the reasons for awarding the medals will en-
tighten the puzzled and dissatisfied exhibitors.
AS the really distinguished exhibitors are the
few who received no medals, examined with
soae care many of the exhibits of this class anu
found not few, without medals, decidedly
superior to those which had received them.
And especially was this true of the exhibits of
those who dec ined to compete for prIZes pre-
ferring the verdict of that comprehensive and
impartial jury who have tested the character of
their goods for years.
