The committee would make special mention of the velvet bound 

 bible in the case of books belonging to J. Terhune, it being really beau- 

 tiful. We commend it to the notice of all. 



Also one silk scarf, by Miss Sumner, bears inspection well. 



The committee would also make mention of the fine specimens of 

 silk embroidery exhibited by Miss Pownell, who, we understand, de- 

 signs teaching the art. There were two mantles, one of salmon color, 

 which was beautiful, but not having been wrought here, of course no 

 premium can be awarded. We would recommend the style and arti- 

 cles to the attention of the ladies. 



Also a piece of worsted work, by Miss McCray, not entered for pre- 

 mium, but deserving it, a fine specimen. 



Also a piece of worsted work, by Mrs. Jamieson. For that style it 

 is well done. Miss Ferguson has also some fine specimens of the same 

 kind. 



One white merino talma, wrought with silk, coming in on Thursday 

 morning, cannot receive the premium, although we consider it fully en- 

 titled to it. The work is from the hands of Mrs. N. Fiske, west side of 

 the river.

PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, DAGUERREOTYPES AND FLOWERS. 



Best landscape painting in oil, by Miss Jennie S. Haldane, Grand 



Rapids, $1 00 



Also, by the same young lady, figure of child with basket of flowers. 

 Your committee take pleasure in commending the energy and perse- 

 veiing industry, as exhibited by the artist of these paintings, to others 

 in this city and county, who may have enjoyed the opportunity of pur- 

 suing this art, in order that another annual fair may show much compe- 

 tition in this most beautiful of the fine arts. They also think the exe- 

 cution of this landscape reflects much credit upon the young lady and 

 her teacher, and with continued application she will rank among our 

 best artiste.
