mated with a right spirit towards Agriculture, Horticulture, 

 Manufactures and the Arts. 



Many ladies came on the grounds to witaess the ploughing and 

 spading matches. They were welcomed by all, and treated with 

 the delicacy and deference due their sex. Their presence pro- 

 duced a happy influence upon all present. 



Numerous gentlemen were in attendance from distant parts of 

 Westchester, Rockland, and other counties in this State; also, 

 from New Jersey, New- York City and from Connecticut. Noth- 

 ing occurred to mar the happy performances and exhibitions of 

 the day. 



The committee feel proud to announce that no rude or immor- 

 al behavior, from any person, was seen upon the grounds. 

 Sobriety and temperance reigned supreme. All things were well 

 done and conducted with decency and in order. 



All of which is respectfully submitted,
