1.00. Gratuity, to Miss Alice Stoyle, Peabody, for crayon 

 sketch. 



1.00. Gratuity, to Mrs. J. Hayden Smith, Lynn, for cu- 

 rious jewelry. 



The number of entries in this department were two hun- 

 dred and sixty. Nearly four hours were devoted to the 

 awarding of the gratuities. *We, as the committee, recom- 

 mend the separation of Fancy Work and Works of Art. 

 $50 is certainly needed in each department in order to do 

 justice to the many meritorious exhibits ; we most earnestly 

 request the Trustees to act on this before the next annual 

 fair. 



The paintings completely occupied the wall on one side 

 of the hall, while two long tables were devoted to fancy 

 articles. Nearly every article deserved special notice. We 

 doubt if there was ever a larger display or one of finer 

 work in this department, at our county fair.
