Reports of Judges. 81 



No. 985. Cape, Culver &, Co. We have examined the Manhattan 

 hams and breakfast bacon, and we find them both excellent articles. 



No. 340. Taylor & Young. We have tested the '* Pioneer Yeast 

 Powder," and find it composed of superior ingredients — most 

 reliable, more thoroughly mixed, more delicate, and in fact supe- 

 rior to anything of the kind heretofore known. It is well adapted 

 for breakfast and tea biscuit — light doughs, such as pot pies, &c., 

 but not so well for bread, which being generally made in large 

 loaves, a large amount of these kind of chemicals injure the flavor 

 of the bread during the process of fermentation. 



No. 282. Phoenix Mustard Co. Sample No. 2 has the mildest 

 and most agreeable flavor. 



No. 237. Charles L. Stickney. This sample of mustard is fair. 



No. 585. James Morton. With regard to this case of samples of 

 biscuits, the exhibitor has not only displayed superior workman- 

 ship in crackers of every description, but he has proved at the 

 same time, that he possesses a thorough knowledge of his business, 

 by the excellent materials he has used in manufacturing the same. 

 We can find nothing superior to his biscuits elsewhere. 



No. 137. L. H. Boole. Preserved compressed eggs are an article 

 which can be used for a variety of purposes where it is impossible 

 to have eggs in their natural state. 



'We have not chemically analyzed this article. An egg without 

 the white loses its essential strength just as much as an orange or 

 lemon when deprived of its juice. This is not in its strictest sense 

 a preserved egg; it is only the yolk pressed into a cake and dried. 



No. 211. Peter Cooper exhibits gelatine, a well known article. 

 After a thorough test of the same we find that it has been brought 

 to the highest state .of perfection, and is certainly equal, if not 

 superior to any of the foreign gelatines.
