 THE EXHIBITS OF THE LADIES.
 One of the:.most complete features of tht fair was the ladies' industrial, and thif year the exhibits were perhaps larger
 than in previous seasors. In quality certainly, the exhibit was never excellet
 in New Milford. Piloted by one of th'
 courteous and sffable members of thu
 ladies' committee THE BEES represents
 tive was shown some of the many article
 exhibited. A beautiful satin quilt ex
 hibited by Mys Jayer of New MilfoE' attracted the attention of everyone
 Mrs Madigan exhibited quilt made b.
 J. H. Skelly, 8 tailor, which was odd
 and required a great deal of fine work
 On it were figures Of all the animal
 which Noah took into the ark ard othe designs. A fiue specimen of tapestr
 painting elicited the admiration of lover
 of art, the work of Mrs Sabine. The ca 8
 of embroidery work contained man,
 beautiful specimens of the ladies' skill
 and Renaissance lace was fine. Sofa pi lows of all sizes and shapes were exhib ited, and if the ladies do not have diff cult time in awarding the premiums thel the reporter will have missed his guess 5 There was quite variety of hand-mad rugs. many of them of odd design. Tn children's department was quite full an 2 contained afghans, doiliea, specimens 0 hand drawing, dolls, etc. The cake an pastry looked especially tempting an when the scribe moGestly suggested h

 who the exhibitor was. The person wh made it chanced to be one Of the lad assistants in the department, and if tha ! individual wants recommendation ] an expert cake maker we will cheerful, give it. The slice given the scribe wa 8 a liberal one, but as he had been feediD l on sand for several houra, the chang was appreciated. But one could nt } pass by the exhibit of jellies andpicklei which the ladies say gre very good il deed, and we will take their word for i VEGETABLES. FRUIT AND POULTRY. The exhibit of vegetables and fru f was very small, this year, but this ~s P in main owing to the protracted dfousi 2 which has practically made the pctai 2 crop locally a failure. The poultry {, r hibit was also disappointme ent. Tbel
 are a great many poultry ehthusias
 about New Milford, and they ought
 take held and help out this departmel E of the fair.
