The committees on prize essays, on crops, on farm¬ 
ing experiments, and on other subjects not requiring 
decision before the annual meeting in January, are not 
included in the foregoing list. 
In reference to the transportation of articles to and 
from the show, it may be remarked, that the railroad 
companies east and west of Albany and Troy, have 
manifested a disposition, as heretofore, to facilitate the 
business by running trains purposely to accommodate 
stock and other articles for the Show. Tow-boats, pur¬ 
posely engaged, will leave Troy and Albany on Mon¬ 
day morning, Sept. 16, at 7 and 8 o’clock, before which 
hour it is hoped that all articles will be ready for em¬ 
barkation. The regular Poughkeepsie tow-boats from 
New York, especially on Monday evening, Sept. 16, 
will furnish all requisite accommodations for stock and 
other articles coming up to the Show. 
One of the principal causes of confusion at former 
Shows—the numerous crowds at the ticket-office and at 
the gates—will be remedied at the approaching Show, 
by placing tickets for sale in several stores in Pough¬ 
keepsie, as well as in the ticket-office; and also by 
multiplying the number of gates for carriages and pe¬ 
destrians. 
Extensive preparations are in progress at the hotels 
and otherwise in Poughkeepsie, to accommodate visit¬ 
ers to the Show, as well as practicable. The steam¬ 
boat captains will lend all reasonable facilities, and 
some boats moored in the river will accommodate many 
who may not otherwise find quarters during the Show, 
while the frequent passage of boats up and down the 
river will enable visiters to spend some hours or a night 
at Newburgh, West Point, or elsewhere, within an 
hour’s sail of the Show-ground. 
Editors in this and the neighboring States are 
respectfully requested to give their readers an outline 
of the arrangements for the Show; and such editors as 
design to visit the Show, are requested to notify the 
Secretary in advance. 
Henry O’Rielly, Rec. Sec. 
We can only add, that the excursion to Poughkeepsie 
will be well worthy the attention of citizens and strangers; 
as they will here have an opportunity of not only see¬ 
ing the greatest Agricultural Show that has ever taken 
place in this country, but the additional gratification of 
viewing on their route up the Hudson, scenery unsur¬ 
passed, and many places of great interest—historical 
and otherwise—scattered along the shores of one of the 
noblest rivers of the world. It will be a healthful and 
delightful excursion, and we again express the hope 
that all who can will not fail to attend.
