the taste. Mrs. Dillon, Montpelier, shows
a single loaf of bread from patent process
tfour. These, with couple OF cakes
which we're taken away before we got to
them, made up the entire cookery depart
ment.
There were pianos, and organs, and
sewing machines, with their pretty opera
tors and voluble agents.
The Singer machine company showed
some nice work. 1t often happens in me- |
chancs that the inventor of some great
labor saving machine, though there is
great originality in his invention, is soon
left in the rear by others who have I'M
proved his device 1t is saying much for |
the Singer that it has kept abreast of COM
peting talent,-a position which it has
held now for forty years. The several
attachments they have invented or adapted
10 their machines enable them to do the
most delicate and difficult work. as an
inspection of their handsome specimens
would convince one.
The New Home was ably represented
by the agent, C. H. Wright of Northfeld.
PLANTS AND FLOWERS.
OF cut flowers Mrs. j. V. Babcock,
Montpelier, has large and very hand
some display. There are fine a. banks Of
flowers" with very handsome gladiolas
and pansies.
Mrs Chester Beckley, Barre, had nice
show of house plants. and Mrs. II. w.
Sowles, Barre, had also very handsome
collection of cut flowers.
An exhibit which attracts much atten-
ton is collection of crayon and charcoal
drawings by j. f. Gilman of Montpelier.
A large sketch of the river with its scene
~ adjoining, with the State Honse in the
distance, is good. In finished crayon work
a portrait of little girl is as good as one
will often find.

At a new wrinkle, in that there is channe
e through the can about an inch in widt
lie from the bottom up to within about 81
inches of the top. which reduces the ca
pacity of the can about one hundred
