COUNTERPANES, CARPETINGS, AND RUGS. 



The Committee appointed to examine Counterpanes, Rugs, 

 and Carpets, have attended to their duty, and Avould report : 



The entries of these articles, (except carpets,) were large, 

 numbering 115, and were arranged in the hall more as a dec- 

 oration to it than for the convenience of the Committee to 

 examine. It was with great difficulty that we examined the 

 Rugs — very far from being satisfactory to ourselves, and 

 probably less so to those \vho placed them on exhibition. We 

 did the best we could under the circumstances, and have 

 awarded premiums and gratuities as follows : —
