Gentlemen — I herewith present to you my report of divisions O and Q (needle-work 

 and children's department), at the last annual fair in Lansing, Sept. 12 to 16, 1892: 



Division O. — Whole number of entries, 331. Amount of premiums offered, $258.00. 

 Amount awarded, $182.00.

While the display in these departments was not as large last year as formerly, the 

 class of work shown was superior. At the last annual meeting the premium list of 

 divisions O and Q was thoroughly revised and seemed to give general satisfaction, 

 therefore I would recommend that there be no changes made for this year. 



Vours respectfully, 



HENRY S. FRALICK.
