The UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL SocIE.
TY.-The third exhibition of this Society, as
our readers are aware, will be held in Boston
on the 23d, 24th, 25th, and Goth DAYS OF the
present month. The grounds selected for the
show are located on Harrison Avenue, be.
tween Brookline and Chester streets, and con-
tain about thirty acres.
The first object that attracts the attention
of the passer-by is fine gateway, of impos-
ing appearance, designed by Mr. John r.
Hall, architect to the Society. Two noble
towers, each forty feet in height, support a
| splendid arch, that spans the entire width of
the street. These towers will contain the
| 1reasurer's office, with twelve windows upon
| the Avenue front, for the sale of tickets Up
on their SUBMITS viii be displayed the Amer
lean ensign.
Entering the field, we are treated to the
novel and excellent feature of vast area,
graded to a perfect level. The field is now
clothed IN most May like mantle of green
the oats which were sowed on the land about
\ fortnight ago being wellup. This will serve
not only an ornamental purpose, but a very
useful one, in keeping down the dust that
the myriads of feet and hoofs would other
| wise create.
Nearly in the centre of the field appears
fine track for the trial of horses, describing
| in its elliptcal circuit an exact half mile
Midway ON ''the home Stretch" a pagoda-
like tower, of beautiful proportions, rises to
height of seventy feet; and above it will
float the American flag, thirty feet in length
by twenty feet in width. The first story of
the tower is designed as gathering ground
for the officers of the Society, marshals, and
invited guests the second story will accom-
modate the judges and the third will an
swer as good lookout for those privileged to
enter it.
On the west side of the track, seats for six
thousand spectators are erected, in the most
secure manner, capable of sustaining ten
times the pressure to which they will be sub
jected.
In the centre of the ellipse will be spread
the mammoth tent, capable of seating three
thousand persons at the grand agricultural
banquet, to be held on the afternoon of Fri
day, the Goth, when the Governors of Massa-
chusetts and other States, Everett, Choate,
Winthrop, Sumner, and others of Massachu-
sets, with distinguished gentlemen from 9th
er States, will address the assembled guests
To the north of this, little in advance, is
the Presidents tent, where the guests of the
Society VIII be received and introduced to its
presiding officer.
The Committee of Reception consists of
Hon. ]. V. c. Smith, Mayor of Boston, His
Honor, Lieutenant Governor Brown; George
M. Atwater, Esq, of Springfield; Charles
L.. Flint, Esq, (Secretary Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture); with others. These
gentlemen will receive the guests of the So
ciety at the Presidents marquee, and show
them all needed attention.
Still further north will be placed another
beautiful tent for Ladies' Saloon, where
ices and other refreshments may be obtained
Connected with this saloon is withdrawing
room, where, with the assistance of an off
eating maid, bonnets and collars and curls
may be becomingly adjusted if disarranged
amid the throng.
For the greater convenience of the report
ers for the press, tent has been specially set
ofIvI use, anu every ItcIiIry win oe
afforded them to obtain and transmit informa-
ton. A committee of reception from the Bos-
ton press, will receive their brethren from
abroad on the field, and further the purposes
of their coming. Reporters are requested to
announce themselves on arrival, and to pre-
sent their credentials at the Secretary's office,
at the northwest corner of Harrison Avenue
and Brookline Street, when they will be fur
nished with cards of admission, sc.
AT the southeastern extremity of the field
preparations on grand scale will be made to
feed the congregated, hungry thousands, so
that in search of " staff of life,' and its usual
concomitants, no person need leave the field 4
The Societys Committee Rooms are estab-
lished in the handsome wooden buildings on
the northeast corner. Here are arranged ia
bles with stationery and other conveniences
for every committee; and here the Judges will
partake Of the noontde meal
More than three thousand feet of stalls have
already been prepared, and will be covered
with canvas roof, with fesooned curtains in
front. Additional accommodations will be
arranged for sheep and swine, at the south
end and for neat stock, at the opposite ex-
tremlty. At these points, several ranges of
tents, about one hundred feet long BY twenty
feet wide, will be stretched, afforcing ade-
quate protection from sun and cold to the an
lmals, and presenting picturesque appear.

seats and stalls, have been erected or arranged
under the constant personal supervision of the
President and Secretary, Marshal P. Wilder
and VIM. s. King, who are faithfully devot.
ing to the great work their entire time and
energy.
The field management of the Exhibition
has been entrusted to Maj. Gen. Tyler, Chief
Marshal, with twenty assistants, who will ap.
pear in an appropriate and becoming uniform.
In addition, strong force of police, under the
immediate direction of the chief or assistant
chief, will be constantly on duty.
Very numerous entries of stock, in the va
rious departments, have already been made;
and some Of the most noted horses IN Ameri.
ca, and very many of the finest specimens of
neat kline, both home bred and imported, will
be on exhibition.
The officers of several of the New England
Railroads expressed their readiness to trans
port stock to and from the Exhibition free
OF charge, and an announcement to that eff
feet was made accordingly; but as the ar
rangement was not general it has now been
decided by the New England Roads, and by
roads in other States, to convey stock at one
half the usual charge. Railroads on such &C.
casons would find it to their eventual interest
to observe a more generous economy.
Without doubt, with fair weather, this will
prove to be the greatest agricultural exhibition
that America, and perhaps the world, ever
saw.
