Royalston Woolen Mill, for cloths, $5,00 



In these days of shoddy cloths, which dissolve and 

 become pulp in the first rain 



Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye 

 But turn to ashes on the lips, 



it seemed really refreshing, to see some real cloth, 

 made from real wool ; and it would seem still more so, 

 if the proprietors would send to each one of the Com- 

 mittee, a suit of clothes, just to satisfy them that their 

 cloths will wear, as well as they look. 

 H. J. Lowe, for watch work, $5,00 



Again the Chairman begs leave to add personal to 

 official knowledge. One of the watches exhibited, 

 was made for him by Mr. Lowe, and has been in oper- 

 ation some months. Every part, each tiny piece, each 

 screw and spring, everything, in short, is the work of 

 the exhibitor's own hands. Even the drilling and 

 adjustment of the jewels for the bearings was per- 

 formed by him ; and so nicely has he done his work, 

 that the monthly variation might be reckoned by very 

 small fractions of a second. This testimony in behalf 

 of the maker's skill, seems due, and is •cheerfully 

 rendered. 



N. U. Lyon, for a very simple and ingenious apple 

 quarter er and corer, 50 cents. 



J. E. Manning, for a case of Clothing, $2,50 



The same want of personal knowledge to which we 



have before referred, embarrassed the Committee in 



this instance, and they would repeat the suggestion 



made in the case of the Royalston cloths. 



To L. J. Brown, Ladies Cloak, $1,50 



To Charles B. Sawyer, for an ingenious combination
