measured over three feet in circumference, and formed a valuable 

 stock of timber. These trees had been planted along the sides of 

 the highways running through Mr. Pirnie's farm by some of the 

 former proprietors, and now have obtained a growth both useful 

 for ornament and timber, and added much to the appearance of 

 the farm. 



Your committee found Mr. Pirnie's farm well cultivated, his 

 buildings in a state of fine order, delightfully located on a high 

 rolling ground. Much pains had been taken to surround it with 

 fruit and ornamental trees. 



The water to supply the house was furnished by a well, and 

 was reached at 30 feet from the smrface, w^here springs flowed out 

 from mica slate and limestone formations. 



The location of Mr. Pirnie's farm is in many respects superior ; 

 no swamp or wet grounds are found on his lands. The mansion 

 house is upon the road direct from White Plains to New- York, 

 and at the junction of the road from Scarsdale. 



Mr. and Mrs. Pirnie entertained your committee with cordiali- 

 ty and generous hospitality. The healthy and delightful location 

 of Mr. Pirnie's mansion, contributed much to the enjoyment of 

 the occasion. 



Your committee respectfully recommend a premium of a set of 

 "The Working Farmer" to Mr. Pirnie, for the groves of locust 

 trees, and the good cultivation of his farm.
