REPORTS AND AWARDS 
181 
We find a small assortment of implements in this depart¬ 
ment, but some of them are very meritorious and deserving 
especial consideration. In a few instances, where we regard¬ 
ed the Premium List as failing to do justice to the exhibition, 
we have gone beyond the prescribed limits and recommended 
premiums to articles of merit not mentioned in the List. In 
doing this we have been actuated solely by a desire to mete 
out justice to all parties interested, and at the same time to 
promote the interests of the Society. 
In some cases there was no competition ; but in all instan¬ 
ces where premiums were awarded, the superior merit of the 
article recommended it to the consideration and judgment of 
the committee. Respectfully submitted,
