The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1893-10-13
At the lower end of the hall, the
space on the left is occupied by the
Agricultural Colleges Ex-

mental Station also exhibited fine
lot of tobacco of the following brands
Virginia tobacco, white and red Bur
leigh, Climax, Bullion, Conqueror
and Yellow Orinoco Pennsylvania
seed Connecticut seed leaf, and five
varieties of Maryland leaf, viz: Three
of broad leaf and two of long leaf.
The right hand corner is used by
Messrs. Nathan Dean s Son of Bel
| Air, who have on exhibition several
fine sets of furniture. The centre of
the room is well filled with fine speci-
mems of fruit, vegetables, &C., the dis
play of Mr.. William Webster being
particularly noticeable.
Ascending to the second floor, the
first thing which attracts the eye, is,
the public school department. This
is in many respects superior to the ex-
hibit of last year. There are num-
erous prominent attractions in the
neat work of the children, among
them being, a collection of seeds by
the pupils of Calvary school an as
sortment of native woods by Master
Ned Quarles; a number Of Indian
relics by Franklin school and pencil
drawings by pupils of Bel Air, Aber-
deem, Boothby Hill, Darlington, Per-
ryman, Trappe and Havre de Grace
schools, which evince much artistic
skill.
The household department, in the
number of its appointments does not
come up to the average. Pickles, pre-
serves, fruit buffers, jellies, jams, can
ned fruits and vegetables, bread, but
ter, cakes, candies and pies of the
most luscious, and toothsome nature
are there to tempt the appetite and
awaken visions of dyspepsia, while
the handicraft of the gentler sex is
apparent on every side. Cushions,
tides, lambrequins, zephyr work, un-
underclothing, fancy needle work and
quilts are in profusion. Among the
latter is fine one, made in six weeks
by an old lady ninety years of age.
The display of paintings embracing
oil work on wood, canvas, tin and
china, is small but good, and the chill
drens' department is about as usual.
The space allotted to Mr.. w. G.. JEFF
frey is deliberately and artistically de-
corated and contains the Domestic
sewing machine, with many speci-
mems OF the word done by it, the
Miller Organ aud Heinekamp's we'll
known pianos.

The music was rendered in a very
acceptable manner by the Emmorton
Cornet Band, Mr.. r. Lee Magness
leader. 1t is one of the crack organ
izations of the county and consider
ing the age of its members, ranks first
| among the Hartford bands. Prof.
Burgoyne had charge of the music.
A fine string band was stationed on
the grand stand and played during
the intervals.
The collection of plants and flowers
was remarkably good and many adj
miring chances and delighted exclama-
tons were evoked from the spectators.
The events of the fair were of a ma
ture usual to such exhibition. The
attendance ON Tuesday was small,
that of Wednesday estimated at 5000
people, while the throng of Thursday
was immense, one of the gate keepers,
an old employee Of the Association, re
porting the assemblage at II A. NJ. as
the largest he had ever known. The
politicians were out in force, and
made the welkin ring with theil
vociferations.
The amusements provided were Of
an attractive nature. The fancy rid
ing was good and the performance o.
the trick horse Demorest ELECTED
much applause.
