No More Wine Jellies

New York, 1895

Wine and wine jellies are to be excluded hereafter from the exhibits and the premium lists at the fairs of the Agricultural Society. This step was decided on at the last meeting of the directors of the society in deference to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the county, who presented a memorial to the directors requesting the exclusion of the articles named. The law forbids the sale of intoxicating liquors on the grounds of the society and the memorial called their attention to the inconsistency of offering premiums for prescribed articles which were tasted by the judges.
