LADIES' WORK. 



The ladies, in giving their report, would say that the contribu- 

 tions this year, although smaller in quantity-, are superior in qual-

 premiums. The work contributed by the children deserves special 

 notice. We particularly request that all articles should be en- 

 tered the first day, or before nine o'clock the second day, as it 

 would save much unnecessary labor. 



Mrs. John Vose, Hyde Park, for the Committee.
