 was on exhibition, from Hodenpyl's, but not entered for premium. 



Another piece of embroidery the committee would especially notice, 

 wrought by Mre. J. W. Pierce. A beautiful specimeu, and we regret

 not entered for premium. 



We notice also a case of books from the bookstore of J. Terhune. 



Also two clocks, by N. T. Butler, deserve notice as iine specimens.
