APT HAIL


Entering the hall by the north door,
visitors were confronted with couple
of organs placed on exhibition by Mr..
Scheinpflug, but the HERALD's man
can give you no adequate description OF
how sweet the music might have been''
that remained locked within their fine
| easements, for it was not our fortune to
hear any of it and it is quite doubtful if
anyone else did. Turning to the right
hand corner and then down alongside
the hall could be seen many handsome
pieces of woman's handiwork, some of
which had appeared there so many
years in succession that their annual re-
turn has become chronic, and the hall
would be very lonesome without them.
However, there were good many new
specimens, gotten up in manner that
elected much attention. Among the
number could be mentioned articles be-
longing to Glasses %. 90 and "a, such
as homemade rugs, coverlets, tiannels,
wooden cloths, yarns, blankets, wool
and cotton stockings. mats, carpets,
table covers, pillow shams, cushions,
embroidered tides on satin, silk or
plush cord and cotton tides crocheted,
or in worsted, crocheted lace work,
knit lace, crewel embroidered table
scarfs, lambrequins in arasene en-
broidery, infants suits complete, wall
banners, oil paintings, plaques, crayon
and India ink drawings, and photo
graphic work. Turning to the opposite
side, fine crate of honey fresh from
Pixies apiary greeted the eye, and the
sweet-scented flavor emitted from the
inside is almost tempting enough to en-
courage one to knock down that great
big policeman, who seems to have sta
toned himself beside it for no other
ostensible purpose than gobbling it
down himself as soon as the crowd will
desperse. In this case are shown fine
samples of Eastwood, clover and buck
wheat grades of honey. Near the door
where we first entered could be seen
fifty-eight varieties of wines, jellies and
preserves, one in number less than LAST
years exhibition. Two years ago this
class boosted of 102 entries.

single and double harness which carried
off first premiums as usual. Leo. An
schuetz & Co. took first premium on
their display of Photographic work, as
they always do on these occasions.
Passing outside to Division f, we find
a good collection of grain, seeds and
other farm products. such as large
squashes, vegetables, etc. Many of
them are worthy of more extended
notice, but if the reader wishes to see
who carried off the prize money he is
referred to the premium list published
further along.
