No. 7, Cape and Isabella mixed, 1851, thought to be better than Claret by some, but not liked by some of the Catawba drinkers. No. 8, Catawba, 1848, a fine wine, admired by all. The next bottle was from H. Duhme, Catawba, 1851, clear and bright, mellow, and universally declared a superior wine. The committee then opened two bottles of Catawba, 1851, furnished by L. Rehfuss, of which A was made from grapes to which special manure had been applied. This was bright, clear, and mellow, like an old wine. The other, B, from Catawba, 1851, made from grapes that had not been so manured. This was declared less matured than A in all its qualities, nor was it clear.
