Viewing Committee. 



The Special Committee to whom were referred all the recommendations of Judges 

 and Superintendents for discretionary premiums, would respectfully report: That 

 they have carefully examined the list of such recommended premiums furnished by 

 the Secretary, and have found great difficulty in arriving at any satisfactory decision, 

 for the reason that in many instances no amounts are ever suggested, and in other 

 cases the amount is merely suggested hy saying we recommend a first, second, third, 

 or fourth premium, naming no amount, and premiums of each description in the 

 division and class, varying largely in amount, so that such designation furnished no 

 intelligible guide. Again, in many cases diplomas are recommended, when, from the 

 cliaracter of the exliibit, if a money premium had been recommended, it is evident 

 tliat from SI to §5 would have been the limit of the recommendation. It will be 

 remembered that the diploma of this Society represents a premium in no case of a 

 money value of less than $25, and we cannot consent by such awards of diplomas, as 

 are in man\' cases recommended, to cheapen, discredit, and render nearly or quite 

 valueless this evidence of the Society's appreciation of exhibits at its Fairs. Labor- 

 ing under these disadvantages, your committee cannot Hatter themselves that they 

 will in all cases have arrived at conclusions just to either exhibitors, superintendents 

 or committees, who have made such recommendations, and much less at conclusions 

 satisfactory to exhibitors, but they have endeavored carefully, laboriously, and 

 conscientiously to perform tlie duty assigned them.
