 Troy. Your committee's eyes were greatly dazzled when called upon to ex- 

 amine this ware. Visions of services of plate, regally engraved and inscribed,

 found that the beautiful material before us was but brittania. We strongly 

 advise our friend Whitlock, of Troy, to re-name his beautiful wares, in order 

 that his friends and customers may not be so greatly astonished. Seriously 

 however, your committee have yet to see any thing that contributed more to 

 the show of beautiful articles than this self same ware. Its silvery white- 

 ness and astonishing strength proclaim it of the purest metal composition,

 silver services of a " Ball & Black,'' or others of our silver services manufac- 

 turers. It was beautiful, and your committee were pleased, and award a 



Dip. and Large Silver medaL
