To the Board of Managers: 



Gentlemen — The undersigned, judges in Department II, Group 

 5, report that they have examined carefully the several articles 

 referred to them, and the following is the result of their delibera- 

 tions: 



Sllver Plated Ware. 



Entry No. 452. Davis, Collamore & Co. 

 532. George H. Kitchen & Co. 

 600. E. D. Bassford. 



We understand that no premium can be given to No, 452, owing 

 to the fact that Mr. Collamore is one of the officers of the Institute; 

 and further, we are told that his goods are of the same manufac- 

 ture as those of Messrs. Kitchen & Co. Between the goods of 

 Messrs. Kitchen & Co. and those of E. D. Bassford, made by Messrs. 

 Eead & Barton, your judges had great difficulty in deciding, both 

 being eminently worthy of premiums. More of the goods of Eead 

 & Barton were plated on white metal, a material on which work- 

 manship cannot be shown with the same facility as on German 

 silver. Both exhibitors show goods of exquisite finish and design, 

 but your judges are compelled to award the first premium a first 

 class medal to the goods manufoctured by Read & Barton, entry 

 No, 600. We decide the goods, entry No. 532, to be worthy a 

 second class medal. 



Chesta, Decorated, and Engraved and Cut Glass. 



Entry No. 453. Davis, Collamore & Co. 

 532. George H. Kitchen & Co, 

 871. William L. Quinnell. 



No sufficient show of china was made to deserve a premium; but 

 the exhibitions of cut and engraved glass, made by entries Nos. 

 532 and 871, are the most beautiful we have ever seen. The 

 engraving on glass, in entry No. 532, was far superior to that of 

 the other exhibitors, sufficiently fine to atone for the loss of ancient
