Honey. 

 S. S. Gary keeps bees, and presented a specimen of lioncy ; 

 he obtained the first premium for the greatest amount — uses 

 the common old style of hive, with small boxes in the upper 

 part, and obtains the honey by 2-emoving the boxes ; when nec- 

 essary feeds the bees in the lower part of the hive. 



Manufactures, Machinery, etc. 



Elmes & Tibbetts had on exhibition a ship's steering wheel 

 and fixtures, iron fence of different patterns, specimens of forg- 

 ing, staples and plank screws, all of which were made by them 

 in Bath. They claim to have made improvements in all the 

 articles, rendering them more simple and durable. 



Several models of different kinds of sailing craft, and matters 

 belonging thereto, were presented, including among other things, 

 Emerson's Patent Windlass, which is highly commended, and 

 the committee close their report as follows : 



" As Maine abounds in ships and models, it is to be regretted 

 that so few specimens should have been exhibited. The com- 

 mittee hope more interest may be manifested another year, and 

 that the ship-builders and the merchants will be represented in 

 a manner worthy of Maine, and of themselves."
