^(Signed) HENRY GALLW AY.' 



Thiii! much has been given relative to the 

 orse in question, from Arabia and from Homhay, 

 hence lie came ;o this country, to show the pii- 

 y of his blood and general estimation. 

 On being landed at Ne-.v York from the ship 

 jratio, this .\rabiaii was universally ailmired, 

 d Mr Van Ranst, a well-known judge and rear- 

 of blood Horses, purchased him of Mr Ogden, 

 !»liigh price, (.fJ.OOO.) 



Having thus introduced this Horse, it may not 



improper lo give the opinion formed by the 



miifiltee of the Agricultural Society of the city 



J county of New York, (composed of men of 



)Wn ta.<^lc and judgment.) as well as a detail of 



produce obtained from the few real good 



od mares sent to this Arab H- rse. 



The following is an extract from the report of 



coiiunittee on Horses, the autumn of 1820, 



awarding the society's premium to thisstallion. 



VVc have not only at different times before, 



subsequent to our appointment, examined the 



t authorities within our reach, as to the cliar- 



irislic points and properties of the Jlrahian 



■se ; and, from the whole of our investigations, 



are of opinion, that the Bussorah is of the 



; cast of Arabian Horses. That his form and 



on are very perfect, and that he will, in om- 



lion, add greatly to tho value of our stock of 



SCB,' 



)f the produce, much might he said, as among 

 colts of the Bussorah Arabian there are speci- 

 18 that equal those from any other Horse now 

 ae United Slates. 



folloiring list u-ill show a limited niimlcr nf 

 ills of his ^et, that are held in high estimation, 

 il : — 



>ady Mrmj, a hay, 15 hands one inch high, of 

 it speed find bottom, and allowed to be now 

 finest mare in the city of New York. $500 

 been offered for her and refused. 

 loon Shine, a sorrel, bred by General Coles, an 

 llent four mile runner, and has proved him- 

 a very valuable stallion. Valued at $2,000. 

 furad Bey, a hay, 16 hands high, the property 

 Ir 1*. Hall, has proved himself to be a most 

 able foal getter, and he is deemed to be one 

 iie finc?t Horses of the present dav. His val- 

 3 $2,000. 



oortsman, a bay, 15J hands high, out of Sports- 

 ress by Hickory, a first rate runner, and win- 

 of the 3 mile purse on the Union Course and 

 r races, now a stallion in Massachusetts, and 

 aat favorite. His value is $2,000. 

 ost Doy, a. sovre], 16 hands high, a very fine 

 e, and proved himself to be a fast runner on 

 Union Course. • At 3 years old, he beat Mr 

 Ligston's Eclipse colt out of an imported mare, 

 match of $1,000 aside. He is dead. 

 ed Jacket, out of a brown Highlander mare, a 

 t on of promise, and bought at 3 years old for 

 fM), but died young. ' , 



lirother to Comet and Lady 3Iary, u verv fine 

 stallion. Valued at §1500. 



IiHinhoc, a bay, IG hands high, owned by Mr 

 Van Reiir'selaer, a fiiK; horse. Died at 5 years. 

 Valued at $1500. 



Brothtr to Ivanhoe, a hay, 16 hands high, owned 

 by flir Le Roy, valued at $1000, and doing more 

 ill ihe western country, than any other horse. 



Ranger, of a beautiful brown color, without 

 white, saving on one heel, and a small star, now 

 only 2 years old, 15.J liands high. In regard to 

 (iiie form, large bone, anil general be;iuty, not to 

 be equalled in this Stale. He was out of the im- I 

 piirted mare Alarm. 



Dutchess Bussorah, a fine colt, 4 years old, 

 16 bauds high, out of a brown Highlander mare, ! 

 a fine young horse ; ran second to Malton, oii the 

 I'oiiglikeepsie Course. 



Besides the above, there are of this stallion's 

 get. a vast many more of equal value, and as is 

 usual with Arabian horses, on being imported into 

 Eii^'land and this country, they are of remarkably 

 good size, and many of them very large, as will 

 be noticed by the detail given above. 



This horse is now the pro|ierty of Cornelius W. 

 Van Uanst, Esq. of New York, and stands the 

 present season at Kinderhook, New York.

Cattle Show. — Our farmers do not need to be 

 remindeil by u.s, that their annual boliil.ny is at 

 band, and that but few days remain to prepare for 

 it. For tho information of such of our distant 

 friends as may wish to attend, we may inform that 

 it will take place on IVednesday the \2lh of October, 

 one fortnight from this day. The usual arrang&l 

 meiits have been made by the officers, and the 

 several coinminees are a; pointed. An Addnss 

 will be deiivereil hy Iia B..rton, Esq. of Oxfoid 

 and a public ilinner will ba provided. Several' 

 letms are already entered for the Ploughing 

 Match, and a ntimber of animals for premium. 

 We have not had opportunity to be informed what 

 tho relative piospoct of the exhibition is, in com- 

 parison with those of former years. We confi- 

 dently trust, however, that the spirit of improve- 

 ment, which has heretofore made it excel any other 

 shnw in the county, has noc abated : and that, 

 with tho .-stimulus afforded by the brightening 

 prospects ofthe farmer, in the generally good crops 

 of the pre>eut scasiin and improving prices, a dis- 

 position will prevail to .satisfy the expectation of 

 the numerous strangers who will be drawn hither 

 by the reputation our show has already acquired. 

 If so we may safely hid defiance to competition in 

 any other section of New England. 



We would particularly expi. ss the hope that 

 the cxiiibiti >u of female skill and ingenuity may at 

 le.ist equal that of any former occasion, in the 

 quantity and variety ofthe articles presented. Let 

 it be remembered, that, to many, this is the most 

 intiuesting part of the exhibition, and that, the last 

 year, o considerable number of premiums totrt not 

 awarded, because there were no competitors for them.
