FLORAL HALL,
in addition to the beautiful things brought
for exhibition, was handsomely trimmed
with evergreens, which added much TO the
general pleasing effect and must have cost
some public spirited individuals consider
able labor; if we knew their names we
would give them as so much just ac-
acknowledgement and recognition OF GOOD
service done. f. E. Andrews OF Berlin,
had the same fruit as Mt Montpelier
BENJAMIN McComber, Grand Isle, had for
exhibition only 10 varieties of pears ana
10 varieties of apples.
C.S. Dole, S. p. circuit, VIM. Gold and
Fred Parker had fine shows, considering
that this is not the bearing Year,, mostly
of apples. j. C. Gallup showed good
samples of field, sweet and pop corn.
The butter, cheese, maple sugar and
syrup were good in quality, but being
ticketed by numbers only we did not get
the exhibitors names.
w. W. Bean of West Randolph had two
top buggies and one sleigh, of very hand
some work, painting especially good. IT,
Fl Morris, Mortified, showed trotting gig
and buggy.
OF plants and flowers it would be hard
to particularze where all were so good
but will mention Mrs. Ida j. Johnson's
collection in which was an exquisite
heliotrope. Mrs. Z. Ingalls, had very
large and handsome fuschia, and Mrs. j.
Hurley beautiful collection of geranums'
Mrs. James Morse showed II pots OF
plants, and Mrs. r. Dewey fine begonla.
OF fancy and needle work, there was
less trash than one usually sees al local
fair. Mrs. Ida johnson showed an EN-
brordered night dress, handsome enough
and with work enough in it to be worn
dav times and out side. Mrs. j. had q
variety of other articles good of their
kind. Miss Susie Winch, embroidered
pillow shams. Mrs. Frank Hopkins letter
holder and match holders in worsted and
bead work. Miss Mabel Reed, a variety

collection of embroidery. Miss Alice
Thayer tidy in black and white-odd and
very pretty. Mrs. Geo, Spear an embroid-
cred lap robe, handsome. Mrs. N. Hassam

There was a fine art collection on eX-
hibilon, Judge Carpenter furnishing
several fine oil paintings, beside which
there were original works by Misses
Emma Crane, Jennie Moulton and Nellie
Thayer, some of which show decided
talent. Mcintosh had a large show Of
stercoscopic views, and Miss Matte Dole
II very handsome specimen of fret saving
in u wreathed cross. We must not omit
mention of IL very nice looking bed quilt
made by Mrs. Almira Nye of Mortified,
pieced since her birth day in March last
when she was Sc; may she yet continue to
piooo quilts these many years.
The threatening weather of Friday kept
many from attending, though good crowd
was present, and the fair may be called q
success. We could not help thinking whal
u rousing old time they could have if the
three fairs in Washington County would
all unite in one, somewhere, and make q
show such as they could make. Why mott
