EXHIBITION AT GREENFIELD. 301 



Mr. Hersey, on behalf of the committee appointed to ex- 

 amine and report upon the general exhibit at Greenfield in 

 connection with the country meeting Dec. 2, 3, and 4, sub- 

 mitted the following 



REPORT. 



In submitting their report, your Committee desire to say 

 that the Committee of Arrangements for holding the meet- 

 ing had not caused the exhibits to be properly entered or 

 arranged; so that they found it impossible, in the short time 

 assigned them, to gather up the information necessary to 

 make a full and correct report. While some exhibits were 

 without names, others were so covered up that undoubtedly 

 some escaped notice. 



The Committee would suggest, that if exhibitions are to be 

 held in connection with the public meetings of the Board, 

 and are not to be under the management of the Committee 

 of Arrangements, that a special committee be chosen or 

 appointed in time to give them an opportunity to see that 

 every exhibit is properly entered and arranged.

 of the Pell Apple, Newtown Pippin, Yellow Belle Fleur,
