There were some beautiful cocoons and choice silk 
goods shown, not specified above. 
The Agricultural Show was held in the 
large square, at the corner of Broadway and 
14th street. Two long double sheds, extend¬ 
ing lengthwise through the area, -were ap» 
propriated to the cattle, and pens were con¬ 
veniently arranged on two sides, for the 
sheep and swine, while ample room was af¬ 
forded for the exhibition of the horses, and 
working and fat cattle, in the centre. The 
number of entries for cattle exceeded 100 
horses, mares and colts, 15 or 20; sheep, 
50 ; swine, about 60 ; mules, none ; jack, one. 
There were several beautiful specimens of 
short horns, though but a few were shown, 
and those from a limited number of herds. 
Mr. Prentice exhibited a few of his choice 
ones; also Mr. Poole, Mr. Emmet, and some 
others. But those on the ground were few, 
in comparison with the numerous fine speci¬ 
mens that might have been shown ; and we 
can only hope that such arrangements will be 
made hereafter, as will call out the choice 
herds in full force another year. The Dur¬ 
ham cow exhibited by Mr. Smith, of Brook¬ 
lyn, gave in the fall from 33 to 34 1-2 quarts 
of milk per day, for 20 days in succession, 
and averaged, from September to July, 27 
quarts per day, the last four months of which 
she was in calf.

Four splendid yoke of working oxen were 
exhibited from Connecticut, and more beau¬ 
tiful specimens of 4 and 5 year old cattle we 
never saw. One yoke had the brockle face 
of the Hereford, with the rapid growth and 
rangey character of that useful breed, while 
the others, somewhat more compact, had all 
the characteristics of the beautiful New- 
England Devons. The training of these ani¬ 
mals was perfect. They would perform 
their evolutions at the word of command, in 
a manner that would do credit to a well dis¬ 
ciplined corps of men, and shame half the mi¬ 
litia of the country ; and their step was quick 
enough, even with a heavy load, to satisfy 
any driver who had to walk beside them. If 
any one doubts the capacity of ox labor for 
the ordinary purposes of a farm, let him buy 
a pair or two of these cattle, and he will soon 
be convinced of the incorrectness of his 
views. These were delegates from the 
513 pairs of working cattle shown at the 
New Haven County Fair. 
The immense ox exhibited at Albany, and 
belonging to Mr. Rust, was on the ground, 
and two, out of five, beautiful cattle raised by 
Mr. Tompkins of New Jersey. The Durham 
heifer, which took the prize, was the most 
remarkable animal ever shown in America, 
and not exceeded, it is presumed, by any ever
