Case showed pumpkin weighing 81
pounds. Elmer Barclay of Greens
boro had some very nice white
maple sugar and honey, as did A. S
Babcock Of the same town.
Outside of Floral hall we found J.
W. Murkland's exhibit of furnaces
plows, and sugar arches. Mr.. Murk-
lands work is too we'll known in this
county to need any praise at this
time. III. O. Whitcher G Son ex-
hibited the plows, and farming tools
which they carry in stock and some Of
their carriages, sleighs and harnesses,
making very creditable display. j.
w. Watcbie of West Burke showed
some wagons which were we'll made
and were good ones. True & Blanch-
ard Co. of Newport showed the Mon
arch evaporator and sugaring tools;
S. N. Doyle of West Burke, local
agent for the I. x. L. evaporator, was
on hand to show how to make good
sugar, while G.. II. Grimm & Co. and
the Leader evaporator were ably
| represented.
HOUSEHOLD AND ORNAMENTAL.
The display in this department, like
all the others, was larger and better
IN every way than ever before. On
account of a part of the hall being
taken by the merchants in town the
arrangement was different than here
| tofore, but was a very great improve
ment; although the space was more
limited the articles we're displayed in
an artistic manner, to the complete
satisfaction of all. The ladies showed
their appreciation of the work of the
association in improving the hall by
making better display of valuable
articles than has been the custom.
We were unable to learn the names
of many of the exhibitors but will
mention the few we succeeded in
getting. One of the first things
noted was a music cabinet made by
Henry Salmon of Glover. The prin-
cipal wood was black cherry but other
woods were inlaid making it look very
beautiful. Mr.. Salmon made the
pulpit for the South Albany church,
and from his ability in this work
should judge it would be to his ad-
vantage to follow it in preference to
anything else. We noted two groups
of very pretty hand painted china
which were shown by Miss Maud
of I'll
Myra Taplin of Irasburgh. The ex-
hibition Of paintings was the largest
and best we have ever seen in the
hall. Miss Seavey of Barton Landing
showed several fine pictures, one of
them being the heads of some of the
fast racers, painted and enclosed
within a shoe which the horses wore
at the time of the races. Miss Seavey
has remarkable ability in this di-
rection and her display always adds
much to the beauty of Floral hail.
Mrs. A. T. BuswelTs collection of
paintings, consisting of flower studys |
were greatly admired Her hand |
painted mirror frame was es pecially |
noticeable. Among others who dis
played oil paintings we noted Miss !
Rose Sherburne of Glover, Miss |
jackson of Greensboro, Mrs. Geo. |
King of Barton and Mrs Mcqueen.
and Mrs. III. S. Webster of Barton
The pen and ink work by
DR.. Buswell and Leon Lyon were very
fine. DR.. Buswell's psychological
unrB hoinor Io11 of
notice. Other exhibitors in this de-
partment were Miss Hoagaboom of
Barton Landing, Mrs. Harvey Of No.
Troy, who made beautiful display of
fancy work, Miss Helen Joslyn, sofa
pillow and crochet work, Mrs. F.
Churchill, Barton Landing, sofa pill
low; velvet quilt by Mrs. Guild, and
silk quilt by Mrs. Winslow. There
was fine display in this department
Of fancy work, sofa pillows, doiiies,
silk quilts, ETC., but the names of
most of the exhibitors we could not
earn. We saw an old fashioned tea
Dot which was said to be $50 years
DID.
Another attraction which added
greatly to the appearance of floral =
lall were the booths in which the vii
age merchants exhibited their goods.
leo. Ell. Davis, "the shoe man." had
/ booth which was trimmed and dec
'rated very prettily. Next to the
walk were two of his plate glass show
Eases, one containing some of his fine
tOck of shoes and the other a nice
display of furs in the latest designs.
