 collection of fruit and vegetables dried by the Farmers' Fruit Preserving Com- 

 pany, of Palmyra, by the Alden process, to which a diploma was awarded. 



They also found a collection, the product of the Family Fruit and Vegetable 

 Evaporator of L. Granger, Armada, to which a dij)loma was awarded. 



The first premium was given L. C. Lincoln for a fine collection of domestic 

 dried fruit. 



All the specimens of the different varieties of dried fruit were found in ex- 

 cellent condition, and there was some difficulty in deciding between the differ- 

 ent entries. The committee would also concede the superiority of the fruit and 

 yegetables dried by the Alden process to that dried by any other method. 



Some excellent dried fruit was on exhibition Ijy Mrs. E. M. Cook, of Char- 

 lotte, having been perfectly preserved for two years, of which the committee 

 would make special mention,
