BOSTON E-COURSE-GRAND HORSE
EXHIBITION.

From Our Own Reportsr.

TUESDAY, Oct. 81, 1856.
"The Agricultural (per SCI Association of Boston
opened their grand horse-show to-day, on the ground
occupied last year for the same purpose by the United
States Agricultural Society,"" which it may not be
amiss to repeat is part Of the made land upon the
lef hand side as we 90 out Washington street toward
Roxbury across " Boston Neck" The plat, think
it was stated last Fall contains thirty ucres, but /
Judge that is pretty high figure 1t is quite level
and the track nicely graded half mile round, with
an ampbitheater of seats judges stand ticket otces,
tents dining room stables, and all the appurtenances
Of the regular race-course; and why not Ii Boston
chooses to have city racecourse who shall say nay
Not l. The only thing csvi about is that she should
call her notions by their right names, and not OBJ
tain money under false pretcnces by representing the
affair as a purely Agricultural Exhibition. Is it Sd
BY its fruit the tree is known, and Col Wilder, the
President Of the United States Agricultural Society
and the President of the Boston Agricultural Associa
ton under whose auspices this exhibition is made is
one of the best Pomologsts in the country of course
he will not object to our trying this tree by its fruit
If this il an agricultural exhibition of horses, we trust
the leading features will be trials Of draught horses
We shall have single, double and quadruple teams,
htcbed to wagons carts plows and other farm imPe-
ments to show their strength, docity and adaptaoty
to fam work and shall have grand exhibition OF
studs and mares, that produce such farm stock. We
can Judge something of this by looking at the pro-
gramme of to-day Tuesday, Oct. 2ll. Here 1t Ia

In vain either in the programme or the proceedings
of the day do find anything that appears particularly
designed benefit interest the farmers OF Massach-
settq, though we do find enough to draw crowd
of just such class just such programme might be
expected to draw in just such city as Boston, where
notwithstanding bull-6ght might be called cattle
show-if one was advertised to come off in Madrid
style upon Boston Common should expect to see
very much such crowd of people as did expect to
see to-day TO witness the operation OF this Show, rs
laid down in the programme

thousand dollars pending upon that, a. there Is upon

horses: or whether this, the only thing IN the whole

agricultural horses had been thought Of will excite
half as much notice Pocahonias the fastest pacing

Truly this Is progressive ttrotting) age. The at
