Premiums OF The Montgomery
County Agricultural Society.

weather was favorable and the concourse
OF people more numerous than on any pre-.
vious occasion. The collection of stock OF
all kinds. except hogs, was large and highly
creditable. The display of machinery was
good. The exhibition of Fabrics and Vege-
tables was unusually large and interesting
The fronts of the various Tents and Stands
were beautifully festooned by the ladies Of
the committee of arrangements and others
with flowers and evergreens, strikingly
arranged. and with notices in letters of
living green. A Band of music was in
attendance, at intervals enlivening the
scene with spirit-stirring strains.
At noon of the first day Hon. R. j.
Bowie, acting President. called the society
and visitors to order, and after few ap-
propriate remarks, proceeded to read letters
from several gentlemen at distance, who
had been invited to address the society on
this occasion, but were prevented from so
doing by uncomfortable circumstances. He
then introduced Jos. H. BRADLEY, Esq. of
Washington city, who, though Unexpectedly
called upon, entertained the vast assem-
blage with very neat and appropriate
extemporaneous address. Mr. Bradley was
followed by A. B. DAVIS, ESQ.,, one of the
former Presidents of the society, whose
remarks were of practical and useful char
acter. When Mr.. Davis had concluded, the
venerable GEORGE W. P. CUsTIs and Major
GEORGE PETER, delivered interesting adj
dresses. All the speeches were very Apo
site and highly applauded
At the appointed hour e O'Clock, P. NJ
the Judges assembled the stand in the
centre of the Riding Circle, and the signal
was given for the entrance of fast stock.
A scene was now presented which baffled
description. All around was dense throng
of interested spectators of all sexes, ages
and conditions, eagerly viewing the spirited
competition that was going on in the ring.
This was new feature in our exhibitions
and certainly not the least attractive.
affording all every opportunity to test the
qualities of their stock to great advantage.
