THIRD GROUP. 



To tJie Board of Managers: 



Gentlemen — The undersigned judges in Department IV, Groups 

 3 and 4, report that they have carefully examined the several articles 

 referred to them, and find in l^oth groups manifestations of decided 

 improvement, as a whole — which are to be found most important 

 contributions to the pulilic wants — entirely new inventions, which 

 promise economy, usefulness, and saving to the public. 



They have pleasure in stating that every article on lists 3 and 4, 

 have merit, and are creditable to the producers. Among those 

 most conspicuous, are the improvements upon " house roofing," 

 " cia'ar makinix," and the construction of "cliimuev flues.'' In the 

 manufacture and samples of Y)lum])ago, the establishment of Mr. 

 Joseph Dixon seems to have reached the highest perfection. 



No. 196. Case of Goat and Sheep-skin Morocco, from Simmons, 

 Rutter & Co., shows the highest perfection, and demonstrates the 

 ability of our domestic, to compete, in quality of leather and beauty 

 of color and finish, with any similar foreign production. We 

 recommend a first premium. 



No. 1035. Your committee notice the beauty of arrangement and 

 artistic excellence of a case of stufi'cd birds, by John S. Ball, and 

 although not presenting any new feature, seems creditable as indi- 

 cating perfection in the art. 



No. 997. Union Paste, from Union Paste and Sizing Co.; excel- 

 lent. Recommended for a second premium. 



No". 1049. J. E. Almy's Glucine Cement; excellent. Recom- 

 mended for a second premium.
