The silk premium of the Hon. Myndert Van Schaick, of one hun- 

 dred dollars per annum for ten years, was given at the late fair, for 

 specimens of home made silk of increased excellence. 



Among the many articles exhibited, we had from Virginia some 

 very splendid specimens of chrystal glass, made and cut in that State. 



Of the numerous machines, we have only time to mention Billings 

 & Harrison's machines for rotting and dressing hemp and flax ; Mor- 

 ris' steam hoisting machine, calculated with unerring exactness to 

 lift weighty articles at a very great saving of labor ; Stillman, Allen 

 & Co.'s beautiful steam engine, that kept in motion the machinery at 

 the fair ; many fine ploughs ; a valuable machine for harvesting 

 grain ; straw and vegetable cutters ; a horse rake of great value ; a 

 drill for boring rocks; a telescope of excellent quality; useful tools 

 and instruments for every mechanical work ; cloths and cotton fabrics 

 in every variety, &c. &c. 



The horticultural exhibition met with universal admiration, the 

 whole direction of which rested with the intelligent and indefatigable 

 Mr. Thomas Bridgeman, aided by a horticulturist of kindred spirit, 

 Mr. Samuel Walker, of Boston, Mass. 



The cattle show was held in the spacious premises corner of 

 Twenty third street and 5lh avenue, and presented some very fine 

 specimens of the stock of our country.
