The Report of Premiums on Flowers and unenu¬ 
merated articles were not with the Executive Commit¬ 
tee and as we cannot keep this No. open longer, they 
will appear in our next. 
The Show was held on the spacious en¬ 
closure at the Bull’s Head, about a mile above 
Albany. A fine carriage way, in admirable 
order, one mile in length, surrounded the 
area devoted to the exhibition, and afforded 
a beautiful drive to the numberless vehicles 
of every description, which were filled by 
ladies and others, whom a laudable curiosity 
and the excessive brilliancy of the weather, 
brought out in throngs. A temporary fence 
within and adjoining the road was the head¬ 
quarters for the whole horned tribes, and 
pens, conveniently arranged in long parallel 
lines, afforded ample room for the woolled 
and bristly families. The implements of 
husbandry were appropriately arranged in 
the open area, while well-protected sheds 
with shelves and tables, afforded every 
facility for the display of vegetables, roots, 
flowers, butter, cheese, sugar, farming tools 
and various articles of domestic manufacture. 
A large tent near the entrance was appro¬ 
priated to the executive and other commit¬ 
tees; while another near the centre contained 
a herd of 27 buffalos and one elk, which 
being the product of other states, were not 
entered for premiums. 
The first day of the Fair was devoted to 
the examination of Plows and such agricul¬ 
tural implements as were on the ground, of 
which there was a good assortment. We 
noticed no implements of marked improve¬ 
ment over previous exhibitions, but in most, 
there was a slight advance on those be¬ 
fore displayed. Many of the plows were 
beautiful specimens of mechanical work, 
and embody beyond any question, the best 
principles yet discovered. Several sub-soil 
plows of much merit were shown ; also many 
specimens of cultivators were exhibited, 
and one of a new, and we should judge, a val¬ 
uable improvement, the invention of J. C. 
Langdon of Troy, to which a diploma was 
awarded as a horse hoe. It consists of a 
wide double, flat share, with sharp edges 
for cutting the weeds and loosening the soil, 
and double upright guards on each side, to 
pulverise the earth, as well as prevent the 
hilling of the rows on either side. 
A great variety of the various articles re¬ 
quired on the farm were on the ground from 
several other states, especially from Massa¬ 
chusetts, Maryland and Virginia, and it must 
be confessed our southern brethren, have 
shown a spirited and successful competition 
in the improvement of our Yankee notions. 
The second day, 28th, was the commence-
