The committee were greatly embarassed on account of the limited 

 means placed at their disposal to award to such a large number of 

 exhibitors, and they wish to say, that they doubt not there are 

 many articles not noticed which are as well worthy of premium or 

 gratuity as some which have been thus honored. 



Among the articles of distinguished merit which the committee 

 were reluctantly compelled to pass over, were — 



Fine displays of furnishing goods by E. Fletcher, Kimball & 

 Treab, and Parsons & Copeland. 



Stoves and Furnaces by C. Le Bosquet & Co. and George 

 Ames. 



Paper Hangings by L. Kimball. 



Beautiful Sea Flowers, tastefully arranged by Mrs. C. A. Shack- 

 ford, of Gloucester, and Fidelia Potter, of Groveland. 



Furs by A. Page & Co. and M. B. Hines. 



Reed Organs and Melodeons, by J. N. Nichols, particularly a 

 Reed Organ for churches or parlors, with sub bass and stops. This 

 was the invention of Mr. Nichols, and is pronounced by competent 

 judges to be a superior instrument. 



Case of Shoe Tools by L. C. Wadleigh. 



Case of Red and Black Ink by N. J. Symonds, of Lawrence. 



There were also many fine specimens of painting in oil and wa- 

 ter colors, monochromatic, oriental and Grecian, and very good 

 black and colored crayons. It is to be regretted that the light of 

 the hall was so unfavorable to their exhibition. 



Among the contributions to this department were Crayon Draw- 

 ings by Mrs. C. H. Perry, C. T. Chase, Augusta Brown, J. Henry 

 Sheldon, W. H. Pinkham, S. R. George, W. S. Harmon, M. P. 

 Spofibrd and W. Duncan.
