The Cd and Sd premiums for single teams
were conditional, subject to the decision of the
Trustees, whether single teams, 1oith driUcrS,
come within the rules of the Society.
After the Ploughing Match, the Society re-
paired to the South Meeting house, where an
appropriate address by P. Merrck, Esq. was
listened to by fail house of attentive auditors.
The trial of Working Oxen took place after
the close of the exercises at the Meeting house.
1t was gratifying exhibition, fully maintain
ing the reputation of the County for this kind
of Stock. There were twenty competitors for
the premiums, G all choice cattle" Three Fat
cattle, only, were entered for premium but
these were of such quality as to make amends
( for the scantiness i'll number The milch coaes
examined by the committee, were IA in num-
Der, and the three to whom the premiums
were awarded, were of great excellence. 9th
ers made fine appearance, but were not ac-
I i 4 b,rfl
rules of the Society, from which, alone, the
relative value may be determined. Of Bulls
the show was not considered quite equal to
what il has been on some former occasions,
yet not so inferior as to detract from the rep
utation of the show. The young stock, of every
description was remarkably fine, and showed,
more conclusivcly than any thing else, the i'm
provement which has already been made, and
which is still going on, in the quality of our
neat stock. This remark applies, not to any
neighborhood or section of the country, exclu-
-:---l-i ..e - rA-, mi
mails were brought forward, which fully justify
its general application.
In relation to stock, we come to this general
conclusion that if the show was not greater
than any former one, it was in point of excel
lence, equal, and in most respects superior, to
any one we have witnessed An intelligent
Agricnlturist from a neighboring state, him
self the possessor of valuable imported cattle
and the greatest breeder of good Stock in the
state, pronounced this, superior to any show
he had ever witnessed; and he had been pres
ent at many, in various sections of the coun-
try Such testimony, from such source,
must be gratifying to those to whose agency
these improvements are attributable, and must
add fresh stimulus to renewed exertions.
The following is list of premiums, awarded
for neat Stock subject, however, in several in
stances, to revision by the Trustees, in con-
sequence of failure in the compliance with
some of the rules of the Society
