On the side of a slopin' hill at the bottom of the long flight of stairs, that lead up to the north entrance of Agricultural Hall is the most wonderful clock that wuz ever seen on this globe, and I don't believe they've got anything to beat it in Mars or Saturn.
I can't give you much idee of it by writin', nobody can, but I can probably describe it so you can see it goes ahead of your own clock on the kitchen wall or mantelry piece.

To begin with how long do you spoze the minute hand is?
The minute hand on our clock is about three inches long, and the minute hand to this is fifty feet long, and its face is about three hundred feet 'round and all made of the most beautiful posies.
Why, the figures that mark the hours are fifteen feet long, most three times as long as my pardner, if he lay flat as a pan-cake to be measured by a pole, jest think of that and these figgers are all made of bright colored foliage plants.

The ornaments 'round the face of the clock is a border of twenty-five different plants, each one fifteen feet wide.

Some different from the ornamental wreath 'round our clock face, that hain't more'n half an inch wide, if it is that.

Our clock has a picture underneath of old Time with his scythe a mowin' down the hours and minutes as his nater his.
