ject of agriculture and home manufactures in the county. It 

 seems now to be the determination that each fair shall excel its 

 predecessor. 



The enclosure of the exhibition was thronged with gratified 

 spectators, none of whom, I presume to say, had time to give 

 to all the objects presented the examination they desired. 

 The horses exhibited were of the usual varieties bred in this 

 State, and excellent specimens of Morgans, Kentucky Hunters, 

 Sir Henry's, Consternation's stock were to be seen among them. 

 Of cattle it will hardly be necessary to say that the members of 

 our society, who took a number of the first premiums at your State 

 fair, were in attendance, exhibiting renewed energy and interest 

 in the success of the county fair. 



In sheep, the show made was quite satisfactory, and quite ex- 

 ceeding that of former years. Notwithstanding extraordinary 

 preparations were made for domestic and fancy articles, the de- 

 partments were filled to overflowing with beautiful specimens 

 from the factories, mechanics and private individuals of this 

 neighborhood. 



In the afternoon of the 23d September, the Hon. Timothy Jen- 

 kins of Oneida county, delivered an address on the fair ground, 

 "which being full of pertinent and practical knowledge, was 

 listened to with attention and profit. The premium list was 

 then read. And the following persons were elected officers for 

 the ensuing year. S. P. Chapman, president; John B. Coe, Vice- 

 president; Thomas A. Clark, Corresponding Secretary; Charles 

 D. Miller, Recording Secretary; Alpheus Morse, Treasurer.
