The Committee would state, that at the time of their examination they found 

 lot of Fruit presented by E. L. Boardraan of Sheffield, to eon tain 42 varieties of 

 Winter Apples, 14- varieties of Fall Apples, 20 varieties of Pears, 8 varieties of 

 Peaches, and 1 variety of Quinces, and felt compelled to reject them as being a 

 greater number than prescribed. But we were subsequently informed that the 

 required number were intended to be separated from the others, and a written 

 list of those offered for Premium was said to be attached to, or laid beside them, 

 which the committee did not observe, and were sorry that they felt compelled 

 to reject them, for it was a choice collection of Fruit. The Apples were all 

 labelled, with name and time of ripening, and were well worthy of a premium. 

 We recommend that a special premium be awarded Mr. Boardman of $5.00. 



Thomas H. Cuetiss, — Chairman.
