years, no premium was offered ; but they Avould recommend 

 an award of two dollars to George W. Warner of Ipswich, for 

 one piece of Cassimere and one of Flannel, No. 74. 



There was a very good number of Counterpanes on exhi- 

 bition, some of which were very fine ; one exhibited by Han- 

 nah Cleaves of Bfeverly, and one by Miss Caroline Baldwin of 

 Salem, were especially deserving. 



In Rugs, there was a very large number, of excellent qual- 

 ity, exhibiting much taste and skill, many of which, although 

 the cost of material was but a few cents, were really beautiful. 

 The exhibition in this very important department has never 

 been equalled, in the judgment of the Committee.
