CLASS LVI-NEW FRUITS AND SEEDLINGS. C. W. Grant, Ionia, N. Y., variety of Eumelan seedling grapes, 1st, Harris' Insects; Hubbard & Davis, seedling specimen of pears, committee commend a further trial; Wm. Adair, Detroit, seedling summer apples, 1st, Downing's fruit book. The Pomological Committee, to whom was referred the entries in class 56, have awarded to C. W. Grant, of Ionia, N. Y., the premium offered for seedling grapes for the Eumelan, (No. 130,) Harris' Insects. The committee also examined a supposed seedling grape, shown by R. C. Davis, of Kalamazoo, and by him called "Kalamazoo," but which arrived on the ground too late for entry, and esteem it very promising, so far as they are able to judge, and commend it for trial. A seedling pear (entry 80), shown by Hubbard & Davis, is of fine flavor, but, from the defective or imperfect character of the specimens exhibited, they are unable to do more than recommend its further trial. Entry 71, seedling peach, is too immature to be judged of by the committee. Entries 256, pale fleshed peach, and 245, yellow fleshed peach, are both good, but with no statement of alleged superior qualities, the committee were able to discover nothing to place them above many already well known varieties. Entry 119, fall-bearing strawberry, does not manifest in the quality, nor yet in the size or appearance of the fruit, qualities that should entitle it to consideration, and the committee suggest that, if valuable at all, that value should be sought in the progeny of which it may become the parent. The committee award to entry 202, (Wm. Adair) the Society's premium for the best seedling summer apple. T. T. LYON, S. O. KNAPP, Committee. CLASS LVII-APPLES, AMATEUR.

Sill, of Monroe, and Austin Wales, of Erin, was appointed to examine and report upon the saw mills and machinery of that class, and these gentlemen made the following report: Your committee, in the examination of the several mills exhibited, find ourselves in much doubt, when we take the several merits of this class of machinery into consideration. Messrs. Lane, Bodley & Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, exhibited in most thorough working order, an engine, saw mill, lath mill, a cut-off saw, and setting apparatus. The saw mill was of a very superior character, and deserves great consideration, but taking its cost into consideration with its other merits, we are obliged to give it the second position. The lath mill beats any one we ever saw, and is entitled to a first premium The cut-off is also superior, and we award it the first premium. The setting apparatus is also awarded the second premium. Mr. James Jenks. of Detroit, presented the saw mils of Sharps, Davis & Bonsall, also a shingle mill and setting apparatus. This mill we find equal in every respect to any shown, and on taking its cost into consideration, we find ourselves obliged to award it a first premium. |
