Philadelphia Agricultural Society's Exhibition. 



Vol. VI. 



In conclusion, the Committee of Arrangement feel 

 much satisfaction in being able to say, that the Exhi- 

 bition just closed, attracted a largely increased number 

 of visiters, over the preceding ones, who seemed to 

 evince an unusual degree of interest in, and admira- 

 tion of, the splendid stock there concentrated from the 

 counties of Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, 

 and Philadelphia ; and that during the entire two days 

 there was great propriety of conduct observed by the 

 vast concourse of people present, and nothing occurred 

 to lessen, in the least, the gratification which all ap- 

 peared to feel on the occasion. 



The Reports of the different Judges are subjoined. 



All which is respectfully submitted.

Ia addition to the fine stock to which premiums have 

 been awarded, the Committee take pleasure in notic- 

 ing many others on the ground that have given great 

 interest to our exhibitions for several years past, and 

 done great good for the country, as is evident from the 

 astonishing improvement manifested in our young 

 stock. Among those most worthy of particular notice, 

 we would mention the thoroughbred Durham Bulls, 

 Colostra, Prince of Wales, and His Grace, all animals 

 possessing the finest qualities, but having heretofore 

 taken premiums, are now excluded from competition. 



Mr. Gowen's splendid cow Dairy Maid, Mr. Paschall 

 Morris', Dr. IJhler's, and Mr. A. S. Roberts' fine cows, 

 many of which had taken premiums, were excluded 

 from offering at this time, but deservedly attracted uni- 

 versal admiration. 



Some fine Devon Cattle were shown by Mr. Wash- 

 bon, on their way from Maryland to New York state. 

 Also, some fine Devons. by Judge Longstreth, which 

 the Committee regret were removed from the ground 

 yesterday, through mistake. Many Cattle were pre- 

 sented by other gentlemen, highly worthy of notice, 

 and which the Committee would take great pleasure to 

 particularise did room permit.

 several cases vied closely with their more fortunatB 

 competitors. There were also some handsome calves 

 under four months old, which by the regulations of th«
