The peach business in Maryland,

last year. The crop is too large,
and prices are away down. Many

invoices at that price because OF
the lack IF labor to handle them.

HOnOrs Well Won.

The hspdsomest and most artistic CT
all the exhibits at the great annual fair Of
the American Institute in New York this
year is that of Walter Baker 6 Co, the
oldest and one of the largest manufactur-
ers of Cocoa and chocolate in the world.
The utmost taste is evinced in the con.
struction of the booth, which is picture
in white and gold; while the tempting
display of goods pleases the eyes and ar
rests the steps of all visitors 10 the fair.
Sample cups of w. Baker
& Co.'s Breakfast Cocoa are
served free TO all by two pretty
young ladies attired in the exact costume
of Liotard's famous portrait of LA b. lie
Chocolatiere," (sdopted many years ago
as the trade mark of this firm pale blue
satin gowns. waists of old gold satin. and
lace caps of pink and blue. The evolu-
ton of the product is also shown. from
immense cocoa p1ds containing the bean
to the exquisitely colored powder which
is so familiar to the housewife. and, when
served at the breakfast table, SO grateful
to the most fast;dious palate.
Taken altogether, it is a beautiful ex-
hibit and one which deservedly receives
the admiring attention of every visitor to
the fair.

to believe that this greatest of all shows
of this character will be successful this

every portion of the union and Caned.
Already applications for stalls and pens
for cattle, horses, sheep and hogs are be-

Nearly $l2 600 is offered in OCULAR and
special premiums. which certainly ought
to attract a large exhibit in every depart-

much encouraged since it has been def 3,
