FRUIT DEPARTMENT.
The additional space added to that of
last year and located on the west side OF
the Mitchell building Increased very ma
terially this year the beauty of the dis
play of fruit. 1t can be said certainly
that this exhibition this year was far in
advance of any previous exhibition.
Standing at the entrance to the fruit and
flower exhibition, the attractiveness of
the floral display was somewhat marred
by its removal, but the general opinion
was that the beautiful fruit display was
this season at least entitled to the place of
honor, heretofore occupied by the flow
ers. This opinion may not be fully con-
CURED in by the ladies who exhibit ed
flowers and who insist that the arrange
ment of last year was superior to that of
this. But certainly the grand display of
fruits, inseparable companions of the
flowers as they ale, rewarded a careful
inspector of them. Each variety of fruits
known to this climate was on exhibition
Of apples alone the varieties seemed
mum berless.
Faldwalder, Maiden Blush and Native
Seeding were exhibited by J. III. Moore,
Mechanics Valley. A fine general dis
play was exhibited by A. B. Rogers,
LON bard, and J. NJ. Yerkes, of Lewis
