The twenty-first annual fair of the Institute, which was held at 

 Castle Garden in October last, exceeded every former fair in the num- 

 ber, variety, and quality of the articles exhibited, in the number of 

 visitors which it attracted, and in the interest which so larp-e a dis- 

 play of American industry, ingenuity, and practical skill is so well 

 calculated to excite. As a natural result of the character and extent 

 of the fair, the number and value of the premiums awarded by the 

 managers are as follows: 



55 Gold Medals. 

 61 Silver Cups.
