ing for premiums on butter, at our next annual Fair, should 

 put it up in pound cakes, nicely printed. We think it would 

 be advantageous to the maker as well as the judges." 



The above report was made by D. D. Sloan, John Stuffie, 

 and Elihu Cox. 



The millers who contended for the premium " for the most 

 and best flour from ten bushels of wheat," were Messrs. 

 Lynde and Sweeney, and Wm. Mitchell. The former ground 

 600 pounds of wheat in one hour and forty-five minutes, pro- 

 ducing 522 pounds of flour — 52^ pounds to the bushel. Mr. 

 Mitchell ground 720 pounds of Wabash and Red wheat, the 

 flour of which weighed 576 pounds — the offal 143 pounds, 

 making 719 pounds, losing one pound in the operation. The 

 premium was awarded to Messrs. Lynde and Sweeney. 



The Farm Harness, exhibited by W. L. Brady, and for 

 which a premium was given, was said by those competent to 

 form correct opinions, a very superior article. The Buggy 

 Harness, submitted by Mr. Brady, was very beautifully got-

 mittee awarded the premium to D. P. Wiggins and Sons. 

 Either of them were equal to anything we have ever seen, and 

 fleet much credit upon the skill of the workmen, by whom 

 they were made, and to whom the credit should be given, 

 more particularly than the proprietors of the shops. 



The Boots exhibited by G. W. Bowman, of Cambridge City, 

 were jilted, we believe the craft call it, in a style of work- 

 manship, that cannot be excelled in this or any other country, 

 so say those who know. An objection to them however, is, 

 that they are too beautiful for the understandings of any 

 Sovereign in Hoosierdom ; and that is saying much. 



An assortment of garden Vegetables were exhibited by 

 Dr. S. S. Boyd, of Jacksonburgh, which were superior in 

 quality and variety to any other exhibited. Among the lot 

 was an excellent pumpkin of last year's growth, and now 

 in good preservation.
