REPORTS ON DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. 



Straiv. 



The Committee on Straw Manufactures regret to say that there 

 seems to be but little interest felt in exhibiting specimens in this 

 important branch of business. 



There were no bonnets offered, and but two lots of straw braid 

 — one of 100 yards by Mrs. Betsey Randall, of Sharon, to whom 

 the first premium of $2 is awarded. 



The other 160 yards, by Mrs. Staples, of Dedham, the second 

 premium of $1. 



For statistical and other interesting information in relation to 

 the importance of the straw business, we are happy to refer to the 

 very able and interesting report of Hon. M. M. Fisher, Chairman 

 of the former Committee. 



CHARLES HAMANT, Chairman.
