SHOW OF HORSES. 



The exhibition of horses occurred on Thursday, at nine o'clock in 

 the forenoon. The number of competitors was seventy-seven. There 

 was one committee on Stallions ; another on Mares and Colts ; a 

 third, on Draft Horses ; a fourth on Single Farm Horses ; and a fifth 

 on colts. The horses were distributed among these committees and 

 occupied separate stations. 



It is the duty of an Agricultural Society, to encourage horses, 

 adapted to farm or agricultural uses. But it has been suggested, 

 that, if the funds of the Society will admit, premiums might well 

 be offered in future on Carriage Plorscs. 



Improvement in the horses and in the modes of exhibiting their 

 points, was very obvious, and is attributed, in part, to the influence 

 of the National Horse Show, in 1853, at Springfield.
