The floral exhibit was large and arranged with excellent taste. 

 The greenhouse exhibits made by John Burr of Freeport and G-. M. 

 Roak of Auburn were large and their respective displays were made

 expected there would be an}^ display of open air grapes. From sev- 

 eral towns, however, there were very good exhibits which the com- 

 mittee deemed worthy of premiums. The general rules, and list 

 of premiums as awarded follow.
