Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Worcester North Agricultural Society, for 1866
Much credit is due Mr. Edwin P. Munroe, the leading spirit in the arrangement of the Hall. Disregarding the set form of past years, he originated a new order of things, thus securing more room for tables and also for the public.
In the centre, tables were placed in a cruciform, and covered with fruit and ?owers. Other stands in the shape of an ellipse surrounded this, on which were displayed fruit and vegetables. On the outside were arrayed machinery, dry goods, furniture, musical instruments, millinery, confectionery, specimens of art, etc. The display of grapes was inferior to previous years, owing to the fact that that fruit had not attained its maturity.
Some very superior vegetables were produced; and the quality of the fruit, though not so large a display as in some previous years, was superior and it is a pleasing fact to notice that the selections and quality increase from year to year.
