REPORTS AND AWARDS. 183 
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 
The only articles on exhibition in this class were an organ, 
manufactured and exhibited by C. Northup, Menasha, and a 
melodeon of Cleveland manufacture, exhibited by J. R. Eld- 
ridge, of Rutland. 
The organ exhibits very creditable workmanship; but having 
only wooden pipes, is, of course, not equal in sweetness and 
fineness of tone to those having metalic pipes. 
The melodeon is possessed of much musical sweetness of 
tone. There being no competition, no comparison of merits 
will be attempted. The committee unite in the following 
awards:
