The premiums were then announced by II. 0. Hildreth, Esq., 

 the Secretary, and the Society adjourned for the purpose of wit- 

 nessing the Exhibition of Horses, Avhich took place under the 

 direction of the Horse Committee, who occupied the grounds 

 from 2 till 4 o'clock. 



At 5 o'clock, and after the conclusion of the exercises of the 

 day, the clouds which had overcast the sky during the entire day, 

 suddenly condensed in a violent, though brief shower, which re- 

 sulted in no other injury than giving some portions of the spec- 

 tators a decided wetting. In all other respects nothing occurred, 

 on either day, to mar the pleasure of the occasion. Thus closed 

 one of the most successful exhibitions ever held by the Society.
