 I.MPLEMENTS. 

 The Committee to whom w-is referred the e.xami- 

 nalionoffarm implements, &c., report ilmtthe num- 

 ber ol articlfs presented for their inspection, was very 

 small, and does not reflect mucli credit on the mnnu- 

 fiietnrers in this county, who it is well known are se- 

 cond to but few in this business. Some meritorious 

 articles were exhibited without competition, and 

 therefore are not entitled to premiujne. (Hatch's 

 Sjwing Machine was exhibited, in operation, during 

 the Fair, and elicited great praise, but as it was not 

 present at the time of inipection, the Committco omit- 

 ted to rtjport on it.) They decided to award premi- 

 ums as follows. 



To Andrew J. Langworthy, for ihe " Locklin 

 Plough," it being considered the best green- 

 award Phjugh $5 



To p. D. Wright, for the Genesee Plough, eoiisid- 



erd the best for stubble or cross ploughing. ... 3 

 To A. & J. Wedd, for the Agriculturists Furnace,

On Silk, aud other Domestic Mauiifactures. 



In this department there was quite an interesting 

 exhibition, althoi'gh the number and variety of articles 

 were too small to reflect much credit on the house- 

 wives and da'ighters of the farmers of .Monroe. The 



committee have omitted to notice some articles, owin, 

 to the want of competition, and others from want of 

 merit. Some of those for which premiums were a- 

 wnrded, were deserving of the highest pinise. The 

 committee award to 



Mrs. .\. GoodeM. for the best sowing silk, ij;3 



Mrs. Hiram Robbins, for yd do. 2

artich'S 8

HORTICULTURE. 

 The Committee on Horticulture report that the dis- 

 play of Fruit, Vegetables and Flowers was very re- 

 spectable, and in siitne respects extraordinary, eorsid- 

 tring tho l.itcncss and unlnvorohleness of the season. 

 The Apples, Grapes, and Qtimecs were very fine and 

 iibundant. But the most conspicuous anil beautiful 

 object in this department was a large ami splendid 

 pyramid of Dahlias, from Alexander Kelaey, Esq. con 

 slating of about forty vaiietiesof bloom8,lbe colors very 

 hcantifully arranged. A table of elegant green house 

 plants, and several large boijuets of Dahlias and other 

 cut dowers, from Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, also 

 added much to the beauty of the exhibition. The 

 garden vegetables were mostly of fine quality, but the 

 competitors were not as numerous as they should be.
