Your Committee regret to be obliged to announce 

 that, from some unexplained cause, they found a very 

 meagre show of manufactured articles awaiting their 

 inspection. 



This, we cannot but feel, is not as it should be. — 

 Worcester County, from the variety and extent of the 

 manufactures in which her inhabitants are industriously 

 engaged, has been, and is justly entitled to be called the 

 work-shop of the Commonwealth, and in some depart- 

 ments of manufacture, of New England, and even of the 

 entire Union.
