. During the last week of the Fair, the Horticultural Exhibition 

 took place, and we are gratified'to say it was a perfect success, there 

 being over 2000 plates of fruit on exhibition.- Messrs. Ellwanger 

 and Barry, of Rochester, N. Y., contributed 167 varieties of pears, 

 105 varieties of apples, 32 varieties of plums, and 6 varieties of 

 nectarines. Mr. T. T. Lyon, Plymouth, Michigan, exhibited 14*7 

 yarieties of apples, very remarkable for their size and the beauty of 

 the specimens ; many of this collection were new, which made i«, of 

 interest to fruit growers in this locality. Messrs Wm. L. Perris 

 and John D. Wolfe, of Throg's Neck. D. W. Coit, of Norwich, Conn., 

 and P. T. Quinn, superintendent for Prof. Mapes, at Newark, N. J.,

 of pears; Messrs, 0. S. Hathaway, of Newburgh, Isaac Hicks, of North 

 Hempstead, L. I., E. Williams, of Mount Clair, and C. H, Earl, of 

 Newark, N, J., contributed choice varieties of apples. 



Mr. C. M. Hovey, of Boston, Mass., made a superior exhibition of 

 over 100 varieties of pears, but they arrived after the Judges had 

 piade their decision. 



Messrs. Frost & Co., of Rochester, N. Y., sent in a splendid col- 

 lection of over 100 varieties of pears, apples and grapes. The Com- 

 mittee regret that they were not received in time to be examined 

 by the Judges.
