The big tent was well filled with wagons, ploughs and 

 other agricultural implements. There was a vaudeville 

 show in front of the grand stand. It was said they gave 

 a good perfoimance whenever the weather permitted. 



Aftei- looking over the exhibition on the grounds your 

 delegate visited the Town Hall and found a large display 

 of flowers, palms and potted plants, a remarkably good 

 showing of apples and other fruits for the off year, and a 

 creditable showing of vegetables containing all the differ- 

 ent varieties. 



The household display was as good as usual. The quilts, 

 rugs and mats, needle-work, embroidery, etc., illustrated 

 what industrious and skilled hands will do. 



The exhibition in all its several departments was of high 

 merit, was well arranged and deserved good weather and 

 a large attendance. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. Lewis Ellsworth, Inspector.
