T. "W". Lane of Arnesbury exhibited two jobs: Buggy and 

 Road wagon. Mr. Lane makes a specialty of fine light car- 

 riages, and "Lane's Cross-Springs." This spring is somewhat 

 similar to the "Lewis spring." Of the "Lane springs" it is 

 perhaps sufficient to say that they have many good points, the} 7 are 

 long and hence easy riding, are simple in construction, breakage 

 reduced to the minimum and give great satisfaction. The 

 material used, finish and diversity of styles in his carriages are 

 fully up to the standard of the grade of carriages manufactured 

 in Arnesbury. Awarded a second-class gratuity. 



It would afford your committee pleasure to mention in detail 

 the productions of numerous other carriage manufacturers of 

 Arnesbury and Merrimac, but as they failed of displaying their 

 jobs, it is assumed that the committee should be silent. That 

 it pays to exhibit is manifest by the fact that one exhibitor in 

 the Fair reported that he had received orders for $1800 worth of 

 work. 



Doubtless in the future, there will be larger exhibits, embrac- 

 ing fashion and beauty on the one hand, and the highest attain- 

 ment in the carriage builders art in the other, which, with a 

 liberal inducement on the the part of the Society will tend to 

 make the carriage exhibit a leading attraction. 



Your committee who acted in great harmony are under obli- 

 gations to the Beverly Board of Trade and to all exhibitors for 

 courtesies extended to them. 



Respectfully submitted, 



G. T. Morrill, Chairman.
