ESSEX SOCIETY. 



ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



This Society held its thirtieth anniversary at Lynn, on the 

 29th day of September last. It was generally considered as one 

 of the best fairs ever held by the Society. The ploughing match 

 was contested with great skill, and the work exceedingly well 

 performed. Twelve double, and eight single ox-teams, and 

 eight horse-teams, were entered for premiums, and all ploughed 

 the lots assigned them. The display of fruits exceeded the ex- 

 pectations of the Society, there being a greater variety and 

 larger number shown, than at any former exhibition. It was 

 gratifying to observe so much interest manifested by many ot 

 the visitors, as well as contributors, in the cultivation of fruit. 

 The other departments of the exhibition were well filled. 



By the kindness of Mr. Phinney, seven animals of the stock 

 of the State Society were present at the show, and commanded 

 the admiration of all who are judges of fine stock. For the 

 purpose of bringing out a larger number of animals on the day 

 of exhibition, Charles A. Stetson, Esq., of Lynn, has gener- 

 ously placed at the disposal of the trustees one hundred dollars, 

 which has been added to the list of premiums on neat stock, for 

 the ensuing year. 



The address was delivered by Thomas E. Payson, Esq. of 

 Rowley.

 they were apparently of a very superior quality. The commit-
