The reverend gentleman finished his
address with a pathetic poetic quota
ton, the title of which we were una
BILE to ascertain.
The exhibition in Floral Hall was pro-
nounced by all to be far superior to that
of former years. The arrangement of the
articles in the hall was fine and showed
good taste in Mr.. Stafford who had charge
of it. Nothing attracted more attention,
and afforded more instruction and amuse-
meut than the exhibition by Rev. b. F..
Rattray. of geological specimens, two
eases of insects and four of shells. The
thanks of the association are due Mr. Rat
tray for his trouble and risk in making
the exhibit. OF course it will be impOs-
sible for us to comment on everything
that was nice, for, everything there, was
of that character, or it would not have
been Oh exhibition.
There was very handsome exhibit of
light open buggy wagons by Smith and
Wells. whose specimens of their handi-
craft showed to good advantage.
Two well-built light serviCeable sleighs
by Chas. p. Scribner of Cady's Falls. one
for carrying 3 persons and the other, of
higher build, for the convenience of two,
was an elegant display in this line.
A. McGatfey, Burlington, exhibited a
fine display of 3 handsome harnesses, and
is entitled to much credit for good work
manship and superior goods.
The specimens Of butter were so nut
mcrous and of such excellent quality
generally, that but one term of cOmmen-
dation could be applied to all. 1t must
have been a difficult matter for the COM
mittee to decide which should draw the
premiums, but it seems that Wolcott took
the lions share, though we would not OBJ
iect to having on our plate as good butter
as that made by Reubin Alger of Stowe,
or Mrs. Il. =. Mudgett of Cambridge.
The exhibits of butter crates and grain
measures by i. w. Green of MorIisville.
and machinc-madc tubs by Houston d
Adams of Stowe. were fine, but one tub
exhibited by our townsman, i. ID. War
rem. was especially deserving of credit in
its make and finish, being made entirely
by hand.
We feel thankful now that we can
change our commcndatory adjective, hay
ing reached the exhibit Of honey, This
was dcliciously street if our imagination
serves us right. and we think it does. We
would liked to have taken those two
boxes, exhibited by 5. ii. Scribner of
Stowe, one under each arm, and gone
away to mediate thereon.
The exhibits of maple sugar we Judged
to be good from the inclination which
everyone manifested to taste of the same
Our townsman. G. l.. Ilolbrook. swept
the board by taking the first money.
The display Of fruit, though, of course,
it would appear insignificant, when com
pared with the display made in fruit
growing sections, was. nevertheless, very
fine when viewed in the light Of the oft
heard cry of You can't raise fruit up in
your billy country The display, can
ned and natural, made by Mudgett
Bros. L. z. Mudgctt and S. NJ. Stafford of
Cambridge, was as fine as any single dis
play we have ever seen. The very finest
thing in the line of fruit was not grown
in the county however, it being platter
of "Flemish Beauty" pears, grown by
Ed Kinslcy, on the "old homestead, -
Bennington, and exhibited by Judge
Midget. They were large handsome
fruit and would weigh somewhere in the
vicinity of 10 to Il o2s. each.
Mr.. 0. Hadley of Hyde Park and others
also showed some fine apples, and the
;,remillms were taken by NJ. NJ. Durham
and r. n. Waite of Stowe.
A Family Reed, exhibited by Judge
MIDGET, was much admired by numer,,
GUS friends and others. 1t was presented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Mudgctt by Mr.. and Mrs,
II. Montague.
Ouite n novelty was exhibited bv A.
Swift of Gilmore. It was recently patent
ed ditcher and drainer, so made that in
clear soil an underground drain could
be made and, if desired. a led pipe laid
with thc same ease that plow would
