The Society originally organized in this county, have submitted 

 a report of the fair in 1856, which was held in New Haven, 

 Sept. 17th and 18th. The exhibition was one of the best ever 

 held by the Society. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine exhibited 

 the improvement which had been made in the county. The show 

 of fruit was not large, owing to the dry season, but some choice 

 specimens of peaches attracted much attention. On the second 

 day the plowing match and the exhibition of horses upon the 

 course, were the great features of attraction.

(It is to be regretted that two organizations exist in this county. 

 It is hoped that the farmers and mechanics will unite in one 

 organization, and thus harmoniously develope the resources of 

 this excellent farming county.)
