The Committee had hoped to have had the pleasure of ex- 

 amining other articles of domestic manufacture than those ex- 

 hibited ; particularly straw bonnets and hats, and carpetinga. 

 They are sensible that these articles have received considera- 

 ble attention in the county, and would have been pleased to en- 

 courage further attention by awarding premiums, had opportu- 

 nity offered. They believe it to be the best interest of our 

 country to encourage manufactures of this kind, and hope that 

 on future exhibitions, the number of articles will be in propor-r 

 tion to the importance of the subject. 

 For the Committee,
