FOURTH ANNUAL SHOW OF THE NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
girls crowding about, and scrutinizing everything 
with bright curious eyes. We dare say that the 
Poughkeepsie show will be quite an epoch here¬ 
after in the history of the fair of Dutchess county, 
several of whom present might well grace a Dutch¬ 
ess’s coronet. 
The committee of arrangements of the citizens of 
Poughkeepsie, deserve the highest praise for their 
exertions throughout the whole proceedings of the 
show, and a well-deserved tribute was awarded 
them in the shape of resolutions passed by the So¬ 
ciety before leaving the place. The citizens were 
very hospitable upon the occasion, many keeping 
open house during the week of the exhibition. 
For such as were kindly proffered us individually, 
while there, we return our grateful thanks. Quite 
a number of distinguished strangers were present, 
especially from the south, and we understand that 
all were highly pleased with the show and its en¬ 
tertainments. Some stock transactions took place 
in a private way during the last day, but to what 
extent we did not learn. 
We now subjoin the list of such premiums as 
belong to agriculture and the mechanical branches 
immediately connected with it. There were a 
great number of discretionary premiums awarded 
for domestic fabrics, articles of curiosity, &c.» &c., 
for which we have not space, the list already given 
below being very formidable.
