Mrs. R. Mansfield, Wellesley, monument of glass and stone, $1 

 and diploma. » 



Mrs. E. H. Tyler, Medway, embroidered blanket, $1. 



Miss Belle H. Boyd, Medway, chemise yoke, 50 cents. 



Miss Finneven, Medway, cambric collar, 25 cents. 



There were not so many articles contributed as usual, but the 

 articles were superior, and displayed much skill and industry. We 

 would urge increased interest in the articles of plain sewing and 

 knitting. We appeal to you, ladies of the county, to fill the ta- 

 bles of the Society, which offers every inducement it can, consist- 

 ently with the by-laws, to encourage contributions to this depart- 

 ment. We hope another year to see the tables filled, now that our 

 sympathies and hands are not so much occupied with our brothers 

 on the battle-field. Let us show our gratitude for the return of 

 peace by encouraging our brothers the farmers, and render this 

 part of our exhibition attractive. 



We wish to thank Mr. E. Stone for his beautiful basket of 

 shells and mosses and other articles lent us for the decoration of 

 our tables. 



For the Committee, 



Mrs. RICHARD RICHARDSON.
