Report of the Centennial department to
the Secretary of the Ridgcfield Agricultural
Society.
DEAR Sm:
The committee to whom this department
is designated, find difficulty in forming their
report upon the usual plan. This arises
neither from any want in the number, nor
character of the articles presented, nor from
the notable list of doiitributors, but from the
miscellaneous nature of the collection. The
Shawl from bark, with the collection of an-
tiques made by Miss Katie Raymond, of
Wilton, is quite worthy of a marked recogni-
tion in the practical shape of a premium of
$2.00. Outside of that, the articles not being
entered as separate collections. it is impossi-
‘ ble to proceed in that way. You have but to
try it ; one Tea Pot—premium, 50 cts; one
Horse Pistol 75 cents ; to see at once, that,
howeverinteresting and worthy the things
themselves may be, there is no competition
between them. The three old chairs by B.
T. Bette, afford us a fair sample of the dif-
ferent styles-of chair making with rush and
splint bottoms, and also furnish proof of what
. strong backs the Betts family had in those
days to have been able to sit in them. The
knives, wine glass, and goblet, by Mrs.
Josiah Northrop, suggest good eating and
drinking to our minds most pleasantly. That
the ancestors of Mrs. A. Barnum, of Danbu-
ry,~who fabricated that counterpane, did not
count her pains, is also evident.
presented a linen spread, and Miss Sarah
Holly also spread forth a Centennial spread—
Mr. Gould
Rockwell’s collection of old coin and conti-
nental currency, and the collection of Edward
Trowbridge, attracted considerable attention.
‘ The gravy dish, by Mrs. Stephen Partridge,
seemed to embody the idea associated with
Dotheboys Hall, “here’s richness for you,"
in a far better sense than the original. Mrs.
A. Bitch presented a silver spoon, canoe, and
antique tea cup; just think of that family
for 125 years being born—not exactly with
that spoon in their mouths—but something
like it. Mrs. A. Mead, of Greenwich, pre-
sented an antique back comb around which
at some the, no doubt, have been mouthed
the richest of raven or golden coils. The
olden powder born, by Charlie S. Nash, Calls
up the type of men who put as much vim
behind their words as they did powder behind
their bullets. Israel Austen presents a nov.
'elty in the shape of a square—topped folding
'—-leaved revolving table, at which the table
waiting must have been greatly simplified
.when all you had to do was to turn the table
.around to “pass the pie,” and his great
.grandfathers‘s horse-pistol certainly looked
very odd. Will our silver mounted seven
shooters look as strangely to our children at
the celebration of the Duocentennial. ?
. Guns were also presented by Leger Ed-
monds and T N Couch, which were possibly
Considered as much of an improvement upon
the old fuses or match look, as our Spencer
' rifle and needle gun are upon these. James
E. Keeler's fractional and Continental curren—
, cy, and Mr. E. J. Couch's old documents, in-
cluding a deed 162 years old, carry us back
to heavy operations in real estate. Mr. C. L.
