the grandest improvement In the line ofhar-
vesting machinery, being OF simple construc-
ton, durable and not liable to get Oul oforder,
easily operated, binding at the VIII OF the
driver any bundle from the size OF a lead pen

serve the highest commendation for their per-
severance In placing before the public such
splendid improvement In harvesting machi'
merry, The portable steam engine with which
the various machinery exhibited by Messrs
Aultman & Co, was operated Is also model
ofperfertion Of its kind and we regard 1t as
the most practical and common sense PortR-
BILE Engine in use.

factured by II Seiberllng, OF Akron, called
the Empire" are very merltOrious and Wor-
thy the highest commendation.

The result Of exhibit In class Is, field crops,
can not now be published, the necessary proof
as to quantity raised, not yet mrde. The COM
mittee on horticultural products having had
q laborous task TO perform, the entries ex.
ceedtng by many any previous exhibition, |
could not make the awards throughout the |
class on account of some Of the goods having |
been removed or stolen,
The committee on sewing machines report |
as follows: Your committee are unable to |
agree as to which sewing machine Is entitled |
70 hTst premium, and, therefore, report that |
all on exhibition are entitled to worthy mem
intelligent opinion as to the preference which
should be given TO any particular machine. |
Your committee, therefore, recommend that
hereafter no premium be offered ON sewing
but that all be invited to place
their machines on exhibition, so the Iublic
can Judge between them.

The Board OF Managers can only EXPIRE
then feeling ofapprObatlOn in consideration
Of the very excellent exhibit made by the
people, and express their regretin not having
embraced in their catalogue all of the articles
Of merit represented, but hope to be able by
another year from the long list of miscela-
neous to the select and include In the list of
premiums many items heretofore omitted.
Those of the exhibitors in the mlscel aneous
class to whom were issued cards worthy of
diploma, VIII be pre- ented with diplomas by
~ ling on the Secretary. Thesuperintendent
)f the Floral Hall takes pleasure IN returning
hanks to the merchants for their assistal Ce
n fitting up and decorating the hall, and is to
% expected that by another year the Hoard
will recognize them IN the premium list
Much could be said of the many mere orous
exhibits, but this must SUFFICE til t never
nce the organization Of the society has there
)een such a full and complete exhib tion, and
We shall rank this year among the foremost
If the agricultural societies In the state.
The foregoing is an official list % far as can {
low be determined. A few changes may take
,lace, which will be announced after the
Meeting of the Board on the II inst.
