EXHIBIT BY TOWNS AND ORANGES
BY odds the pleasantcst and most interesting
feature of Wednesdays exhibition was the sharp
but friendly contest between the towns of Fall
River, Rutland and Deer Park. The latter two
exhibited in the name Of their oranges and The
former simply as town. The exhibition in
cluded general display Of the farm, garden,
orchard dairy, kitchen and pantry and was in
each case massive that really we are ut loss to
describe. There must have been four or five hun
dred separate articles in each collection, including
wheat, rye, corn, barley, oats, timothy clover and
grass seeds, beans, pumpkins, squashes, melons,
potatoes, cabbages, bread, cake, grapes, apples
pears, plums, peaches, jclles, jams, chestnuts
raised by Mr.. Ebersol from the seed, &c, &c,
In each case the stand, filling nearly half
OF the south wing Of Floral Hall, was gorgeous
~ decorated with flowers, some of them in pots,
but most Of them arranged in wreaths and pyr-
amids, or displayed in massive Hastily arranged
bouquets. Altogether the exhibit was in the
highest degree crcdtable to the towns, and eX-
cited so much qualification and interest that it
cannot fail to draw othcrtowns into like I'M
dertaking at the next fair. We should have been
sorry to be on committee that had to decide
between the merits of the display of the respec-
tive towns where things seemed hopclessly
equal However, the committee hcrocally
awarded the first premium, fifty dollar flag,
to the Deer Park Grange; the second $50 to
Rutland; and the third $50 to Fall River
CLASS E-PoULTRY.
On Wednesday were also awarded the prcIni-
in Glass E-Poultry. The exhibit was about the
same MS last year, but was redeemed from inferi-
GRITTY by the spendid and voluminous display Of
Jos. c. Hathaway of East Ottawa, who alone
showed some 80 coops. The entries included over
10ocoops. Among the principal exhibitors were
Mr.. jos. Hathaway, (already named), Wiley
