NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,"
We referred in general terms to the next fair and
cattle show OF the New York State Agricultural
Society, which is to take place in the ensuing
fall, few days since; but we did not at the
time know of the place where it would be held.
We have since learned that it will be held at Sa-
ratoga Springs, one of the most delightful spots
in the country, on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and
sixteenth days of September next
From what we have gathered, we are induced
to believe that the coming exhibition will sur
pass all preceding ones, in point of interest to
farmers and agricultursts, as well as to vsiters.
The premiums amount to the sum of three thou.
sand four hundred dollars, and the grounds
selected for the show, are close to the Congress
springs, and cover an area Of twenty-three
ceres. The same description Of buildings as
were used at the former exhibitions, will be
erected at this exhibition, for the display of
fruits, flowers, vegetables, farming implements,
&c. The FIRST Gay, Tuesday, the 10th, will be
devoted to the examination oy the judges, of the
different animals and articles exhibited. On
the afternoon Of the same day, the trial Of
plou9 his will take place, and on Thursday morn
ing the great trial OF skill between the best
poughmen in the State will take place. Alto
ss,her, this will be a grand affair, and we doubt
not that it will reflect credit on our ate, well
as on she patriotic gentlemen who comprise the
officers of the society. The list of premiums is
much larger than any heretofore offered, and Of
course will ensure a much more extensive COM
petition.
We shall endeavor to report the doings of this
great exhibition, for the benefit of our readers.
The managers, we think, made peculiarly for
tunate selection of Saratoga Springs. 1t is in
the immediate centre of an extensive agricultu.
raj section, and can be reached from all parts Of
the State easily by railroad.
