TOOK SEVEN PREMIUMS.
George |. burst, the confect-
Toner, Takes First Prizes.
HIS OWN FAMOUS ICE CREAM
Is Pronounced by Competent Judges,
as 1t was Long Ago Pronounced
by the Public, the Very Best.
His Very Fine Display.

OF all the exhibitors and prize win
ners at the State Fair, Mr.. George L.
Durst, the leading confectioner OF this
section OF country, has most reason to
feel proud and satisfied. His palatial ice
cream, cake and candy establishment on
Market street, is already the most popu-
lar resort in the city. 1t is besides
growing in fame and popularity daily,
and there is a bright prospect that in
the early future he will be compelled to
enlarge his facilities.
Mr.. burst had one OF the finest ex-
hibits, If not the very finest and most
attractive, in the Main Exposition build
ing at the State Fair, and in the seven
classes in which he competed he won
seven first premiums.
Mr.. bursts ice cream won the first
premium over all competitors. This is
not TO be wondered at, His cream is
always unsurpassed for purity and favor,
and that entered Mt the Fair, made by his
usual methods, was SO far ahead OF what
was offered by others, that the commit
tee lost no time in making the award.
OF course, this decision OF the committee
is not surprising to the friends OF Mr..
burst, who arc thoroughly familiar with
the excellence OF the contents OF the
cream-freezesc in his extensive
establishment, but none the less does it
deserve to be chronicled, for the decision
and award Of the judges in this parttcu-
lar line is the reward OF real merit, and
as such should be given the widest pub
liCity. Everybody in and out OF Wheel
ing is interested in knowing where the
best ice cream, is to be found, and the
IHTELLIGENCER and the judges at the
Fair have pointed out the favored
locality,
Mr.. bursts cream is turned out by AK
perts, manufactured with the aid OF
ste9m machinery, from pure Jersey
cream, produced ut dairy whose stock
always takes first premium wherever
entered as competitors. No wedding,
party, festival or banquet is Just the
complete thing without cream from
bursts.
But Mr.. bursts triumph was not con-
fined to ice cream, by any means. In
ornamental cakes he had very fine dis
play at his handsomely fitted up boothin
the Main Exhibition building, the entries
embracing ornamental wedding and par
ty cakes in great variety, rs well us
the less elaborate sorts. AS Mr.. burst
exCels in ice cream, so also does he
excel in cakes. The standard by
which to estimate the one serves
equally well for the other, and he
has long had n most enviable reputa-
ton for the quality OF his cakes. His
baker, who is yeritable artist in his
way, turns out cakes in bewildering
variety, from the familiar and humble
sorts retailing at ten cents dozen, to the
largest and most ornate wedding cakes,
or those suitable for parties, banquets,
etc, and many epvied the duties Of the
Judges ut the Fair rs they went about
their very agreeable task Of asCertaining
which OF Mr.. bursts palatable sweets
actually stood at the head Of the list.
J In CAndies, Mr.. burst had display
which iarly took the breath Of the Ia
dies us they looked over the array set
before them. The exhibitor fairly out
did himself in the extent and variety OF
the fine handmade goods exposed to
view, and to see his well-flled show
cases WIS alone worth trip to the
gLOGnue.
