The judges and competitors were all assembled at Utica on 

 the 7th of May, as appointed in the programme. The grounds 

 were all staked on the farm of Mr. John Butterfield, who had 

 generously offered it, with all needful facilities, to the Society; 

 and every preparation was completed, but it had rained nearly 

 every day for a week previous, the ground was thoroughly satu- 

 rated with moisture, and it continued to rain for ten consecutive 

 days after the 7th, the day appointed for the commencement of 

 the trial. The land was, in consequence, like a mortar-bed, and 

 was utterly unfit for a trial which would be satisfactory either to 

 the Society or the competitors. 



It was therefore resolved, after conference with all parties, and 

 with their entire assent, to adjourn the trial until the 10th day of 

 September, to, be held at the same place. 



At that time, the parties having reassembled, the trial was had 

 in conformity w^ith the programme. The following is the list of
