AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



The display of goods entered in the class of Agricultural 

 Implements was not quite so large as usual at our fairs. 



There were ten difierent exhibitors, but no one of them made 

 any considerable number of entries. In the list for which 

 specified premiums are offered, there was only one entry ; 

 possibly this list might be enlarged with advantage. 



The Committee were all present, with the exception of Mr. 

 Griffin, of Glouceseer, who being an exhibitor declined to act. 



The premium of $15, for largest and best display, was not 

 given, but the amount, with the $20 placed at the disposal of 

 the Committee, was awarded for such articles, as were consid- 

 ered of established merit. 



The following is the list of entries and the awards of the 

 Committee : — 



Bennet Griffin, Gloucester, Gratuities. 



1 " Hollingsworth's" Patent Rake, - - - $3 00 



1 " Bullard Hay Tedder," diploma and - - - 5 00
