The exhibition of this Society, in its various departments was 



very creditable to the county. The show of Short-horn cattle 



was much the best ever given in the county. That of Devons, 



was of very great excellence. The show of sheep and horses 



was very creditable. In the implement and miscellaneous 



departments were many articles of very great excellence ; and the 



whole fair w^as of a character calculated to inspire the farmer 



with new zeal for the improvement of the agriculture of the 



county.

ULSTER. 



The Ulster County Agricultural Society held its annual fair and 

 cattle show at Kingston, on the 9th and 10th days of October. 



The weather was very pleasant and the attendance exceedingly 

 large. The exhibition of animal stock far exceeded that of any 

 preceding fair of the Society, both in numbers and quality. Many 

 very fine horses were exhibited. Working cattle, milch cows and 

 beef cattle were unusually fine. The show of sheep and swine 

 w^as more extensive than at former fairs, and of superior quality. 

 Poultry was not as abundant as on some former occasions, but 

 some very fine specimens were exhibited. The display of vege- 

 table productions generally was magnificent; fruit very fine in 

 quality, though limited. in variety and quantity; manufactured 

 articles of improved workmanship, and with the various produc- 

 tions not mentioned or alluded to here, constituting a very credit- 

 able exhibition. 



The annual address before the Society was delivered on the fair 

 grounds at 2 p. m., on the second day of the exhibition, by Geo. 

 H. Sharp, Esq. It was an appropriate and able production, and 

 was well received. The delivery of the address was preceded by 

 a prayer by Rev. C. Westbrook, D. D.
