Your committee would commend to the attention of the public a col- 

 lection of paintings exhibited by Messrs. Pullman Brothers, viz. : Group 

 of horses' heads ; life size portrait of Napoleon I., and landscape. It 

 shows a growing taste in fine arts to see the capital invested and energy 

 put forth by these gentlemen, and hope they may meet with remuner- 

 ation for this enterprise.

Floral design. Your committee would commend this as a beautiful 

 arrangement of autumnal berries and mosses, but not entitled to a pre- 

 mium as a design. Your committee also think Mr. Nelson deserves 

 much attention for his successful Floraculture — the exhibition of which 

 adds so much to this department of our fair, and would recommend his 

 very extensive and beautiful gardens to any desiring to increase their 

 collections of flowering plants, the culture of which add greatly to 

 beautifying our residences, the attractions of our city, and happiness of 

 our homes.
