There were no entries for canned grapes, strawberries, 

 quinces, apples, pumpkin, or asparagus. The acting committee, 

 Mrs. S. L. Withey and Mrs. 0. A. Hortou, remark as follows: 

 " The committee report a large collection of canned fruit of 

 fine quality, and in many cases we found it difficult to decide 

 which was best. Several collections not entered for premiums 

 attracted special attention. That of Mr. Husted was especially 

 fine; also, that entered in the Kent county collection. These 

 collections were all of home manufacture, and exhibited well 

 the good housewifery of this part of the State."

There were many beautiful specimens of jelly on exhibition, 

 but they were included in the larger collections. It was not 

 at all creditable to the ladies, however, that the exhibition of 

 preserved fruit was so meager and unsatisfactory.
