Pears were a fair exhibit and very creditable to the State. 

 In the extreme southern portion the fruit was more or less 

 covered with a seeming mould or fungus growth which was no 

 doubt due to the unfavorable spring. The smoothest speci- 

 mens came from Madison county. The first shipment coming 

 from Centralia, was received July 3, and were of the Early 

 Harvest variety. Varieties of which the largest number 

 of shipments were received are: Bartlett, Howell, Duchess, 

 Seckel, Sheldon, D'Anjou, and Le Conte, in order named.
