THE CULTIVATOR. 
Co., for a very fine pair of yearling Ayrshires, a Bull 
and Heifer, both of which received first prizes. 
We find by the Premium list that the first prize 
Short Horn Bull was adjudged to be “Prince Royal,” 
owned by Thos. Gould, Aurora. We were unfor¬ 
tunate in neither seeing Mr. G. nor his stock on the 
grounds, which we regret the more, as he included so 
meritorious an animal among their number, and, in 
addition, a prize Devon Bull, “ Holkham.” 
Among other Cattle exhibitors we have the names 
of Jas. Merriam, Oriskany; Thos. Richardson, West 
Farms; John Oliver, Sterling,—who received the first 
prize for the Devon Bull, “Rover,” but which we did not 
see ; W. D. Steward, Chatham 4 Corners : Enoch Ottley, 
Phelps; Patrick Weir, New York ; A. F. Van Cortlandt, 
Westchester; 0. Howland, Owasco; S. A. Curtis, Canaan, 
Mr. Ostrander, Dutchess Co.,G. and J. A. Smith, Mont¬ 
gomery. 
H. G. Sheldon. Sennett, exhibited 10 yoke of Work¬ 
ing Oxen , and among others who competed in this de¬ 
partment, were Elon Sheldon, Sennett, M. Salisbury, 
Jefferson Co., and A. M. Clark, Cayuga Co. 
Foreign Cattle were chiefly shown by B. and C. S. 
Haines, Elizabethtown, N. j., who had a fine collec¬ 
tion of Short Horns ; R. S. Colt of Patterson, N. J., 
who exhibited Alderneys, and J. T. Norton, Farming- 
ton, Ct., whose stock of home bred and imported Al¬ 
derney cattle, were well represented by a fine 20 
months old bull, an imported cow whose average of 
butter was said to be 12 lbs. weekly, another good cow 
and a pair of promising calves. 
Among exhibitors of Sheep more particularly, whose 
names have not before been mentioned, Isaac N. De¬ 
forest of Dutchess Co., was one of the largest. His 
stock consisted of French Merinos, and he exhibited 
beside, in the cattle line, the 1st premium 2 year old 
Devon Bull, “ Winchester,” and a fine yoke of 3 year 
old Devon Steers. Wm. Chamberlain, Red Hook, 
had both French and Silesian Merinos,—and in addition 
a prize Hereford Bull and Cow. Isaac Merritt, 
Hart’s Village, exhibited Saxons of fine quality, of 
which he has a flock of about 150, and a very good 
grade Devon Cow. S. A. Curtis, Canaan, had some 
fine long-wooled Sheep, as well as a few beautiful Ayr- 
hires. R. Burrett, Burdett, was among the exhibi¬ 
tors of Merinos,—J. S. Hallock, Milton, among those 
of Cotswolds, and Oscar Gregg, Blooming Grove, 
of middle-wooled. The chief show of fat Sheep was 
made by E. Gazley of Clinton, Dutchess Co. Joseph 
IIaswell of Hoosick, showed fine crossbreeds and Me¬ 
rinos. 
We must not pass by the Berkshire Swine of E. 
Wait, Montgomery, the Essexes of S. Griswold, Spen- 
certown ; or the Essexes and Suffolks of Wm. Ainslee, 
New-York. 
Of Foreign Sheep, we noticed chiefly the Long-wool¬ 
ed of Ralph Wade, Coburg, C. W., the Silesian Meri¬ 
nos of Geo. Campbell, Westminster West, Vt., and a 
Leicester Buck just arrived per steamer Hermann, and 
shown by R. A. Alexander, of Kentucky. Henry S. 
Freeman of Lonsdale. R. I., exhibited fine Suffolk 
Swine. 
Horses. —We did not name, in cataloguing the stock 
of Mr. L. G. Morris, his premium Horses; for in 
truth we were so hurried as to have scarcely seen them. 
There were tho celebrated imported thorough bred 
Stallion “ Monarch,”—and the brood Mare, “ Fashion,” 
with foal, both of which received first prizes. Isaac E. 
Haviland showed a beautiful pair of 16 hands high 
matched Horses, color light bay. John, Butterfield, 
Utica ; Clark and Jarolemon, Oneida Co., E. S. Dewey, 
New York; R. R. Morris, Westchester; and Reuben 
Murray, Canandaigua, were among the other principal 
exhibitors of matched Horses. Philip Helms, of Har¬ 
lem, showed a Black Hawk of fine appearance and said 
to be, like most of that breed, very gentle,— Wm. 
Bathgate, Motthaven, an eight year old Black Hawk 
mare, worthy of notice, and Dr. P. Crispell, Jr. of Uls¬ 
ter Co., a fine 3 year old Stallion. L. B. Brown, West 
Farms, exhibited a pair of horses whose united age was 
39 years, which, considering this circumstance made re¬ 
markable time—also a Messenger Gray, 6 years old, 
which appeared to be a serviceable animal. Mis. 
Wilbur of New York city rode a fine little Saddle 
Horse, whose action, the grace of his rider, and the 
b'eauty and spirit of both received universal plaudits. 
We have already stated the fact of there having 
been a collection of Mules hitherto unequalled in this 
part of the country both in numbers and quality. J. 
L. Jackson, New-York city exhibited a very large 
number, including several pairs of extra weight. 1). 
McCauley, of the same place had also a fine show, in¬ 
cluding one or two very superior teams, and Wm. 
Dykes, Newtown, L. 1, 4 pairs of fine animals. J. 
Buckalew, Jamesburgh, N. J. had ateamof 12, which 
were excellently trained and were driven as nearly as 
we could judge, with no greater difficulty than that of 
managing an equal number of horses. His whole 
collection included 13 pairs,—all bred in Kentucky, 
well trained and fine animals. E. B. Bishop & Sons of 
Jersey city and New Haven, Ct., had also a beauti¬ 
ful exhibition of them, samples of which our Connec¬ 
ticut subscribers will probably have an opportunity of 
examining at the State Fair this week. They well 
deserve minute attention, and would we doubt not, be 
found an invaluable addition to our farm Stock. Our 
energetic, economical fanners should take this subject 
into consideration. 
The collection of Poultry was, as we have said, 
rather marked by excellence than extent. H. S. Bal¬ 
lou, of Blaekstone Mass.; R. Burrett, Burdett; II. S. 
Freeman, Lonsdale, R. I.; J. C. Hall, New-York ; Geo. 
Anderson of this city; H. Johnson, Patterson; G. W. 
Cummings, Rochester; and W. E. Haxton, Beekman, 
were among the exhibitors of Black, Buff, Grey, and 
Spangled Shanghais, under various names,—Mr. Free¬ 
man showing in addition some beautiful Seabright 
Bantams, and Mr. Johnson very pretty and diminutive 
African ditto, besides excellent imported specimens of 
the English Game Fowl. There were Turkeys shown 
by Cummings of Rochester and Howland of Owasco,— 
and several coops of Ducks, Geese, &c., whose owners 
we did not learn. Among the comparative novelties 
were a splendid assortment of Fancy Pigeons from T. 
M. Rodman of West Farms ; and a white China Goose, 
just imported, shown by 0. R. Ingersoll of Brooklyn— 
a beautiful bird, which had unfortunately lost its mate 
on the passage. We saw a pair of white Indian 
chickens, as they were labelled, which were, however, 
very black. S. V. C. Van Rensselaer of Claverack 
had some beautiful Speckled Dorkings, Spangled 
Shanghais, and very fine Lop-eared Rabbits. These 
last were not shown for competition, as Mr. V. was one 
of the judges—consequently the premium was taken 
by Mr. Faile, whose collection was, indeed, scarcely in¬ 
ferior to the other. 
We find we have not yet spoken of the Flowers and 
Fruits, the Implements, the Domestic and other man¬ 
ufactures, or of the Dairy and Produce. We must 
therefore be as brief as possible. Suffice it to say 
of the last, that the show was rather small; the com¬ 
petition, however, being considerable for some of the 
prizes offered. Jesse Williams, of Rome had on exhi¬ 
bition two Cheeses of 500 lbs. each, and we were told, 
milks some 200 cows at his home dairy. Wm. P. Ott¬ 
ley, of Ontario Co., showed very fine samples of differ¬ 
ent sorts of Grain, very neatly put up. 
The Floral tent was well adapted and fitted up for 
its purposes, and presented a beautiful appearance. 
Among the Fruits, we noticed the immense numbers 
which Elwanger & Barry, of Rochester, always send 
of Pears,—being upwards of 200 varieties, and beau¬ 
tiful and lip-provoking they were too. Hovey & Co , of 
Boston,were not far behind in numbers, they having 
varieties of Pears and all as tempting to the 
pear could be. Messrs. II. & Co. favored us wi 
;
