CARRIAGES. 



The Committee on Carriages Report : 



But one entry was made for the premium, which came within 

 the conditions of the offer. This being the first year of an offer of 

 a premium in this branch of mechanical industry, it is to be pre- 

 sumed that the offer did not come to the knowledge of all engaged 

 in this important branch of business in sufficient season, or more 

 entries would have been made. Carriages are manufactured to a 

 considerable extent in Lawrence and Haverhill, and to a much 

 larger extent in West Amesbury, employing a capital in the latter 

 place of more than two hundred thousand dollars, and turning out 

 carriages to the number of twelve hundred a year. Sargent, 

 Gunnison & Co., of West Amesbury, entered a two wheel chaise, 

 which in the opinion of the Committee, was a superior piece of 

 workmanship, being in good style, fine finish, and very light, the 

 whole weight being but 254 pounds, for which they award the 

 premium of $20,00. Sawyer & Bradley, of West Amesbury, en- 

 tered a buggy for exhibition, for which they award a gratuity of 

 $5,00, and which in the opinion of the Committee, was of nearly 

 equal elegance with the chaise, making it evident that the manu- 

 facturers of carriages in West Amesbury are keeping fully up 

 with the times.
