120 ON FANCY ARTICLES. 



FANCY ARTICLES. 



The Committee on Fancy Articles, and articles not includ- 

 ed in the duties of other committees, have a very strong feel- 

 ing of the difficulties in the way of making an accurate and 

 perfectly just determination in the distribution of the gratuities 

 placed at their disposal. 



The somewhat increased number of the contributions, ren- 

 dered the task of discrimination more than usually difficult ; 

 and the short time afforded for examination, was found to be 

 painfully insufficient. 



Among the great display of beautiful articles exhibited, the 

 committee have endeavored to make as fair a selection as pos- 

 sible, in awarding the gratuities, and recommend the following 

 awards : 



J. M. Miller, Methuen. Apple parer, - - 50
