Thet were deemed worthy of the highest award and special mention. They were in splendid preservation, as near the fresh article as possible and excellently got up. Potin, Paris exhibited preserved vege- tables. George Gunn, Bath, exhibited infants food, to which the jury unanimously gave a third award. It is rather dark in colour, but well pre- served, and received a second award. King and Co Limited London and Belfast, showed Edwards' preserved potato. Keen, Robertson and Co, London had an exhibit of infants' food (patent barley and groats) This is a sound nutritious article, and spoken favourably of by the jury who had tested it for its intended pur- pose. Qui bell Bros, Newark, received first award for their linseed and cotton cake as a collective exhibit. Spratts Patent, Limited, London showed their dog biscuits, which, on account of their inherent merit, received a first award. This was prepared from fine rice, and on cooking was found to be very palatable. J and J Colman, London, exhibited British corn flour.
The quality, purity, and general excellence of this preparation obtained for it a lirst award. In the British court, Brown and Poison, Paisley, Glasgow, exhibited their well known patent corn flour. The third group comprised exhibits only from Britain, Victoria and Tasmania, among which a stack of sweet ensilage, prepared on the ground, is described at some length. Britain, France, Germany, and Scandinavia were the only other countries represented. The preserving industry is one deserving of greater attention and the jury were disappointed to find it in such a backward state here. In the second group, the colonies were conspicuous by thelr absence, the only exhibit there being un- fortunately condemned. Britain, France, Germany, Austro-Hungary, and the United States were likewise represented. Some of the samples of arrow- root and mazena were really fine, and awarded accord- ingly.
In the first group New South Wales and Queensland were the largest exhibitors. (1) Alimentary preparations including infants' food, &c, (2) Preserved vegetables and (3) Food pro- ducts for animals, including ensilage. This class formed the largest and most important of all It naturally divides itself into three croups viz :
