Daily Gazette for
Middlesbrough, 6 August 1883:
SKINNINGROVE MINSER’S INSTITUTE. HORTICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY. The
above Society, undoubtedly one of the most progressive of its kind in
Cleveland, held its eighth annual exhibition on Saturday last in a field
pleasantly situated within half a mile at the village of Skinningrove and the
German ocean. It was Queen’s weather. The sun from early morning shon out magnificently, and although at noon the heat was
somewhat intense, the gentle breezes wafted up the valley from the sea so
tempered the burning rays as to make the day and most enjoyable one. Shortly
after noon Sir John J W Peace, Bart., MP, accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Ethel, and a young gentleman, paid a visit to the show field. Sir Joseph
expressed the pleasure it gave him to see every department so well represented,
and paid a high compliment to the band, conducted by Mr Jabez Parsons, who
during the honourable gentleman’s stay performed several choice selections of
music in grand style, including the “Gems of Scottish Song.” The show in itself
was decidedly an improvement on its predecessors. In the amateur class flowers
were fairly represented to, whilst the fruit exhibited looked luxurious and
tempting. Vegetables were a most excellent show, the entrants being numerous,
and the quality good. The same remarks equally apply to the cottager’s class. A
nice lot of pigs, canaries, and British birds, poultry, ducks, eggs, rabbits,
were also shown and special prizes were given for the best cottager’s gardens. In
the ornamental and mechanical department there was a great improvement,
especially in fretwork, the first prize being awarded to Mr George Farndale for
a magnificent clock frame, the design being purely gothic, made of black walnut
and white Maple, nicely varnished...
