492 ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW-YORK 



ALBANY. 



The annual fair of the* Albany County Agricultural Society was 

 held at Albany on the 23d, 24th, and 25 th days of September 

 last. The first and second days of the fair were rainy; and the 

 entries, in consequence thereof, were not so numerous as they 

 otherwise would have been, nor were the receipts as large. 



The display of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, would 

 compare favorably with the fair of 1855. 



The manufacturers' department, household department, &c., 

 WTre well filled, and the display was highly creditable to the 

 county. 



In the horticultural department, there was but little competi- 

 tion, although some fine specimens of fruit and flowers were pre- 

 sented. 



On the whole, the fair passed off very pleasantly, and closed 

 with an interesting and able address, from the Hon. Rufus W. 

 Peckham, of Albany.
