TRIAL AND FAILURE OF THE STEAM rLow--
GREAT CROWD AND GREAT SUCCESS.
Prom Or Own Reporter.
ALBANY, Thursday, Oct. 6, 1859,
The day opens with strong, clustering wind, quit
cool, but shll more pleasant than yesterday, whin
was uncomfortsby warm. The attendance ycstersy
We computed at 10000. To-day the attendance lie
much larger, at o clock il 900 ahead of yster-
day at the same hour. very large portsn are
women-farmers' wives and danghters-An well
dressed and well TO do in life.
The Steam Plor.-Ths excitement wheI the steam
pOw moved across the field last evening shows, az
strsws do, which way the wind blows The machine
Il Troy built upon the plan of Mr.. Mann, carries its
own track, and guided by steering wheel for ward,
that moves q pair of guide-wheels. The fremen ride
st tie resr OF the horizontal boiler as upon railroad
locomotive the ploEs, four In number, are hung
behind. In travelling across the field, and mp steep
grade, the machine stopped, We understood for want
Of steam, and had TO wait for wagon load OF wood 10
come alongside, during which the CROWD became 30
dense that 1t required siderable coaIipg TO get
enough TO proceed TO the outer part of the ncosure,
where the blowing TO be DONE AT length the
ground was reached, the pows let down, and little
opening obtained TO 60 ahead between the two walls
Of men curious to how oxen and horses are to be
superseded by stesm-poser In blowing. The
ground is soft loan, strongly sodded and the pows
only marked the ground here and there, but did not
turn over handsome burrows. The general verdict was
that as far this trisl concerned, steam wing
vas failure We regret this, as il leaves bad i'm
preston upon the minds Of many who will probably
have reason hereafter 10 change their preeent impress
mon upon this method of dsntegratiDg the soil. The
machine was In operation, though not blowing, again
to-day, and drew great crowd.
The po~iDg match to-day has been great sttrac-
bon, and very interesting 10 crowd Of people. The
specimens Of blowing show how very great have been
the improvements in p0ws, as well as the art, within
the few years that annual shows and blowing matches
have given incentive ~ this important branch Of
American industry.
The cattle and horse exhibitions to day have been
very attractive TO the people, and have kept large
crowds around the wings all the time, snxously wait
ing for something to turn up" The greatest diff
Guilty appears 10 be with the Of people to know
where 70 go, what 10 fret how TO dispose of
themselves and occupy their time to the best advsn-
tage, which, % appears, many OF them wholly
Unable to determine, and they wander about with
out any very definite object, and finally give up in
despair, and 60 home with only confused idea
dagueIIeotyped upon the mind of fine horses gay
sbawls and bonnets big bulls and immense ROSTERS,
steam plows and great crowd acres of apples and
whole felds of agricultural implements-and al
hcular advantage TO them, because they did
rot know how to see and appreciate 1t,
The fault is a greediness to see all, or "get their
moneys worth" instead of devoDg their time TO the
prosecution of some single object such the examns
non of cattle, or horses agricultural implements for
20 one can possibly all that ID exhibited here
fine should spend whole week, and work diligently.
Another OF the leading attractions of to-day has been
the grand chow made by the Amencan Express Com
pany of their working teams driven ten in hand and
composed of some Of the best and handsomest work
horses IN America There about 20 of these
horses IN the nDg at time, and certainly
have seen finer display nor one that attracted more
attention and appreciation. John Butterfed never
felt prouder than he did to day, nor with more reason
Altogether this day proves the success Of the exh-
hton, full and complete, In every particular.
