ARTICLES NOT EXAMINED BY THE COMMITTEE. 



The following entries were made, but, in some instancep, after due diligence of

The Committee in Special Merit Department experienced some embarrassment 

 and confusion in the prosecution of their work. This, in part, was occasioned by 

 vague and incomplete entries. The committee would suggest that every article 

 plactd on exhibition should have name and place of manufacture recorded in en- 

 try book. Another source of confusion was in the neglect of exhibitors to place 

 entry cards on their goods. If this rule was observed it would benefit both ex- 

 hibitors and the examining committee. The committee desires to express its satis- 

 faction and gratification, not only at the large number, but the great variety and 

 superior quality of the exhibits in this department, and, also, at the very intelligentr 

 prompt and courteous men who represent them. The patience aud kindness of the 

 exhibitors of this department justly entitles them to the thanks of the committee- 



Respectfully submitted,
