REPORT OP COMMITTEE. 



2h the Executive Committee : 



Gentlemen: Your committee, appointed to award premiums 

 upon Class 9, for the best and second best box of raisins, best box of 

 figs, and best specimen of preserved citron, beg leave to report as 

 follows: 



There were twelve exhibits of raisins, and, after careful considera- 

 tion, we award the first premium to A. J. Twogood of Riverside, and 

 second premium to H. A. Westbrook of Riverside. 



We found R. H. Henderson's exhibit a very good article for imme- 

 diate use, but not quite as dry as they should have been for an article 

 of commerce. Entry No. 10, put up by E. Caldwell, calls for special 

 mention, but lacked uniformity of clusters; the raisins were as good 

 as any on exhibition, but not as carefully selected. 



There were four exhibits of figs. Those packed in drums by D. H. 

 Burnham were far superior to any other, and were given the first 

 prize. 



There were three specimens of preserved citron, including one 

 from the China lemon. First premium is awarded to Mrs. E. J. 

 Davis. Special praise is due Mrs. Conway for her preserved China 

 lemon, the flavor being superior to the genuine citron, and if your 

 committee could have gone beyond their duty, they would have 

 awarded her the premium ; they are convinced that it is an excellent
