34G hiTATE BOAKD OF AOKICULTURE. 



Tlieie are other special exliil)its pueli as tlie printiiii^ press, electrotypiiig process, 

 etc., by tlie Free Press company; the exliibits of M. S. Smith it Co.. E. li. Smith & 

 Co., and Kiclinionil & Backus. The northern exhibit, so called, and numerous others 

 called for special mention, but time and space will not permit, and we trust the 

 awards of diplomas, medals, etc., will be re<jarded as due recosj^nit inn. 



In the lists furnished us it is somewhat (lillicult to discriminate at times between 

 articles, animals, etc., which are designed to be noticed by honorable mention, and 

 especially worthy, interesting, etc., and those intended to be recommended for a pre- 

 mium. We have so far as possible consulted with Superintendents of dilVerent de- 

 partments, learned, if possible, the intention of the Viewing Committees, and while 

 not always coinciding entirely with Superintendents of departments, as to the pro- 

 priety of awards, we have given great deference to their opinions. There were rec- 

 oniniended for special mention or premiums 521 dirterent exhibits. 



Premiums over and above those oftered or awarded were recommended as follows: 



In money $977 00 



Twenty-six medals, valued at 2U0 00 



Eighty-four diplomas, valued at 2,100 00 



Making a total of $3,337 00 



"We have recommended the award of an amount in the aggregate as follows: 



Money premiums §386 50 



Twelve medals, valued at 120 00 



Thirty-two diplomas, valued at 810 00 



In the aggregate $1,31G 50 



The exhibits on which we recommend premiums, and the character and amount of 

 premiums, are mentioned below. All articles or exhibits not so named are com- 

 mended as worthy of special notice, and will be so published. The word "Discre- 

 tionary" indicates that the exhibit is of a kind for which premiums were ofTered and 

 awarded and additional premiums were recommended. " Non-enumerated " indi- 

 cates that no premiums were ofl'ered, but the exhibit was such as to be entitled to a 

 premium.

DIVISION E-CLASS 31. 



In this entire class and division the reconmiendations seem to us only recommend- 

 ing duplicate premiums, that is two first and two second premiums in each case when 

 recommended. But at lowest amounts (no amounts being named, but recommenda- 

 tions being first premium and second premium in each case) would amount to §60. It 

 may be an error in copying lists for us, and if the special discretionary premiums 

 only in fact amount to 811, as stated by the Superintendent of this department in his 

 report, we would coincide in his recommendation that the amounts be paid; but as 

 shown in copy of recommendations j)resented to us, we must recommend that the 

 entire class be passed without any discretionary awards. 



DIVISION H— DISCRETIONARY.
