sea the bope that next year horse tennis will be allow- 

 id to compete, as this would lend to a more c.\t.Mided 

 improvement in the science of ploughing, so impor- 

 tant in the business of agriculture.] 



It is regretted again, that the several committees did 

 not furnisli such lull reports of what they examined, 

 as would enable the publishing committee tr be more 

 particular in describing the exhibition. But no one 

 can be blamed; for the short nolice of their oppoint- 

 ment, tlie great number and variety entered for premi- 

 ums, and moreover, the great concourse of people, 

 rendered u perfect discharge of their duties inii)0S8ible. 

 (n the genejai notice, which therelbre can only be ta- 

 ten, many things of merit, it is feared, will be over- 

 looked. 



Of vegetable Productions, there was a good show — 

 such ne squash, radishes, corn, wheal, beans, apples, 

 &C. One member had samples of nine varieties of 

 Potatoes; among them the Irish Cups, raised from a 

 Tew imported from Ireland, where this ranks as the 

 best. Another member produced seven sorts. 



Of domestic fabrics, there were several tbnt did high 

 credit to female ingenuity — such as carpets, coverlets, 

 flannel, cloth, linen, and an elegant shawl. Also, 

 aeverol parcels of reeled silk. 



Of IVIechnnism, there were ploughs, thrashing and 

 sowing machines, a straw cutter, &c. Also, some 

 ae.it castings from J. L. Woodruff's furnace. 



At 3 o'clock, the court room was filled by ladies and 

 gentlemen, to hear an address on the eccasion, by 

 John Rnnkin, Esq. This was listened to with great 

 nterest, as the production of a practical and scientific 

 nrmer; and soon after its delivery, on motion of J. 

 Sarlinghouse, the (hanks of the Society were render- 

 ;d to the author for his useful and instructive address, 

 md he was requested to furnished a copy for publiea- 

 ion. [It will be printed in pamphlet form, and ready
