 ■best of feeling prevailed and nothing came up to cause any annoyance. In the Art 

 Department, I Avould recommend a revisal of the list by some good, competent per- 

 son who is up to date in art work.

REPORT, SUPERINTENDENT MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 



To the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society: 



In accordance with a rule requiring superintendents of various departments to 

 submit an annual report. I respectfully present the following: 



The number of entries in Division P, class 60, was 65; in class 61 was 2. The 

 exhibit in this department was small. In view of the character of many of the 

 exhiliits in this department, I should deem it wise to award diplomas to all in the 

 future, as we have in the past year. In the special exhibits the entries were large 

 and the character of the exhibits good, furnishing a vex-y interesting feature of 

 the fair. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 

 [Signed.] FRANK MAYNARD, 



Superintendent Miscellaneous.
