MECHANICS AND MANUFACTURED ARTICLES. 75 



Taken as a whole, the display of mechanical and 

 manuf ictured articles, though much smaller than, for 

 the credit of the many and excellent mechanics of 

 Fitchburg we could wish, was as far as it went, 

 highly deserving of praise. 



We would close our. report by urgently recommend- 

 ing, that in the future a definite and sufficient space 

 be assigned for the exhibition of articles of this 

 department. With the many enterprising and ingen-^ 

 ious mechanics which the North of Worcester possesses, 

 her display of manufactured articles should be one of 

 the most interesting and instructive of the whole. And 

 that such a display will be made in the future, we have 

 no reason to doubt, if an opportunity be given for it.
