JfOTES ON THE EXHIBITION. 



The Exhibition of Fruits, Domestic Manufactures, &c., 

 ill the Hall, was conceded to be of the highest character, 

 and that of stock in the pens was very satisfactory, 

 though not so large, or of so decidedly superior charac- 

 ter as it is in the power of the farmers of the county to 

 furnish, and as may reasonably be expected in response 

 to the very liberal premiums offered in that department. 



The show of Agricultural Implements and ^lachines 

 was never surpassed, probably not equalled, in Essex 

 County. 



The Ploughing Match was well contested by a large 

 number of teams, and was particularly noted for the 

 trial of skill between seven boys under 19 years of age, 

 in competition for the premiums amounting to fifty dol- 

 lars, offered hy the President of the Society. 



The entries of Stock numbered 103 — animals, 175. 



Entries for ploughing, 24 teams, comprising double 

 and single, ox, horse- and mule teams. 



Entries in the Exhibition HaU, 735, comprisii:ig 1000
