 Newton County.— Jonathan. 



Making, as a total, over 133,000 plates of fruits used in the exhibit, an amount of fruit 

 never before approached in any exhibit ever made in the world. 



9. It is easy to see from this large amount of fruit shown and the 

 number of entries made and the haste in which this had to be done, and 

 the dimness of SQjne of the names on the packages, that a number of errors 

 must have crept into the report of awards, both as to names and places. 

 It is easily to be understood also why some did not receive as high a 

 prize as they were entitled to, because of the difference of the judgment 

 of the different judges, some of them grading much higher than others 

 in their scoring and all the judges serving only about two weeks each : 

 For example : One judge scoring high might award a gold medal, while 

 another scoring low might award a silver medal, since they differ only 

 five points from the lowest of gold to the highest of silver. But taking 

 the whole number of awards and the whole work done by the 25 judges, 

 their scoring has been a very satisfactory one indeed, and we should not 

 find fault with them without just cause. The only wonder is that it 

 was carried through so perfectly. 



Prof. L. R. Taft, Chief of Jury of Awards, says of the INTissouri 

 Exhibit :
