from 2 lb. to 4 tons. We tried the scale, and fouund it a correct weighing scale. We consider this scale of a superior quality, and justly entitled to a first premium. Hay scales made at Buffalo Scale Works, weighs from 1 lb. to 4 tons, 2d premium: N. B. Rowley & Son. We examined this scale and found it fully equal in all parts except the rack, which is a great convenience. The bar or bars of this seems to be of a better character than the Fairbanks Scale, and we find it difficult to decide which is really the best; but for convenience of all things we conclude to give the Fairbanks Scales the preference. The two reports being referred to the business committee, the following resolution was adopted. Resolved, That we recognize the report of Viewing Committee No. 29, regularly appointed to examine articles in Class 32, Division D, in which there is awarded the first premium, 1st, Hay and Cattle Scales, manufactured by the Buffalo Scale Works Company, N. B. Rowley & Son, agent, Detroit; and 2d premium to Fairbanks Scales, of Fairbanks, Greenleaf & CO., Chicago, to be correct. The committee did examine both scales, and in our judgment were perfectly competent to judge of their merits; and we believe no special committee would have been appointed but for the misrepresentations of the agent of Fairbanks, Greenleaf & Co.

CLASS XLIII-FACTORY-MADE GOODS. The committee to whom was referred Class 43, embracing factory-made woolen flannel, etc., manufactured in Michigan, would respectfully report that the samples of goods presented from these exhibitors were so superior in their excellence, so uniform in their value and character, that your committee found it no easy task to discriminate so as to meet the terms of the offered premiums, and yet do no prejudice to exhibitors. They have finally given their awards as follows: For best display from any woolen factory in Michigan, first premium awarded to Ypsilanti Woolen Manufacturing Company. For second best display from any woolen factory in Michigan, your committee unanimously decide that, in view of the great difficulty of determining the merits of the product of two competing exhibitors without detracting from either, that the second and third premiums be divided equally between the Clinton Woolen Manufacturing Company, and the Jonesville Woolen Mills of H. R. Gardner & Co. For the best piece of fancy cassimere, weight 14 ounces or over, first premium, Clinton Manufacturing Company; but your committee unanimously recommend a first-class premium for a piece of cassimere, weight 13 ounces, made by H. R. Gardner & Co., Jonesville Woolen Mills, as of marked excellence, but wanting in weight to meet the requirements of the rule. For best piece of plain cassimere, weight 14 ounces or over, first premium awarded to Clinton Manufacturing Company. For the second best piece of fancy cassimere, 14 ounces or over, awarded to H. R. Gardner & Co., Jonesville Woolen Mills. For best display of flannel from any one factory in Michigan, first premium to Ypsilanti Woolen Mills. For best piece of overcoat cloth, 14 ounces or over, first premium awarded to H. R. Gardner, Jonesville Woolen Mills. The committee beg leave to speak most favorably of the entire production in cassimeres of the Ypsilanti Woolen Manufacturing Company, but they are lighter in weight than similar goods by other exhibitors. Your committee beg leave, also, to express their great satisfaction |
