PHILADELPHIA
The Great. State Frdr—Exelthvg Scenes.
Number in attendance, &c.
Oct. 2.
The great topic of the last week has peen
the Exhibition of the State• Agricultural So
ciety, which was held at Powelton, in West
Philadelphia. No demonstration of the kind
ever held in this region can he considered so
varied and so complete in all its departments
as was this festival of the industrial arts.—
The display of live stock has never been sur
passed. In the entire agricultural depart
ment we were presented with the finest re
sults of the natural wealth of Pennsylvania,
brought forth by the most perfect cultivation.
The many improvements in agricultural im
plements, showed the amazing progress thrit
has been made in the science of farming.
since the days of the wooden plough, the
simple rake, the sickle and the flail, and told
unmistakeably that the trenins of invention
had removed the burden of many labors from
the farmer's hands.
The horses, cattle, swine, sheep and other
departments '\Pere Mill filled, and all ()I' the
st oc k was of a very superior c•harac•ter. 'l•ht•
di. , :iplay of flowers. and fruits was exceedingly
large and truly magnificent, presenting a
centre of constrant attract ion to thousands.
' The Fair opened on Tuesday and closed
on Friday evening. On the two first (lays
none but members and exhibitors were al
lowed, but these made a crowd of thousands.
Thursday anti Friday were "the people's
days," had the scene on each of these days
was of the most exciting character. As early
as seven o'clock on Thursday morning. scores
of oninilmses commenced yyonding their way
over the Schuylkill, filled, in almost every
in
st:uace, with dould - e the number entitled to
'seats. All the avenues leading wes i t3Vard
were cr,fwded with vehicles, and at tone O'-
clock itythe morning it was difficult to find
a yob or carriage disengaged. Market and
Chestnut streets were alive with visitors walk
ing and riding to the Fair. Sutdi a throng
:of people, horses, Val des, &C.. was never
before witnessed in Philadelphia. Outside
the enclosure the 'usual motley sights were
exhibited,•and those who have never seen
the scene of a country military muster, an
English fair ground, the environs of a mili
tary encampment, an election in Texas, a
having ground or the, vicinity of a race
course on a great occasion, found all these
things illustrated on the bank of the Schuvl
kill opposite Powelton. Such (weer looldng
shanties and tents, such flaming ,4111'1111.; aaf
signs—such discordant musie--Lsuch effigies
of mon,:trocitics to be seen inside the can
vass walls—such stuffing of gingerbread, fip
ples and oysters, and swilling of larger beer
and vile rum—and such sights and scenes,
generally, are not often witnessed nimr
On the ground the scene was of the usual
animated deseription t —the temporatry build
ings filled with goods and crowded .by visit
ors; the tents with flags flying; the horse
racing; the windmill;- the crowds ,clustered
upon, the groups, of iron statuary, for resting
places ; the racket of niaOltinery ; the strains
of music; the crowing-cif poultry; the low
itt, of cattle; the striking of bells; the burn
ing of a lire proof here and there ; the dis
quisition of an inventor on the merits of his
invention, conspired, with the thousand in-
deseribable.sights, sounds and ineidents, to
make up a foot ease/nide not soon fin-gotten
by those who had the good fortune to witness
it.
On Friday the Fair was little less crowded
than on Thursday. In the afternoon the
whole scene Inside amtoutside of. the enelos
ua` reemiut' caruiyal. During the
morning the trial of ploughs and ploughmen
came tiff in at field oil the Bingham estate,
adjoining the Fair ' e;r4imuls, and the novelty
of tile seems caused 'a great concourse of
spectators to flock. thither. - Yet order was
well preserved, and the ploughmen were in
no wiseinterfered• witli. Eleven two-horse
ploughs were entered, with as many plough,
men and boys. Six acres•of ground were
staked oot in spaces of twenty finir feet width
and extending the length of the field, so that
'each ploughman had the same spare allPfed
to him. Most of them accomplished.-their
task by twelve o'clock. The dryness. of .the
earth impeded operations, but the 'dough*.
was well done, the lines of the he,ing
correctly run, and the earth turned up Thor- I
°uglily, and front a good siejah. .The rare
course was again it great center of attraction.
throughout the dav, the trials of horses he
llo, watched with the utmost interest by 1111
who could get in position•to see. The ani
mals all did well 'linter harness and saddle,
and excited general admiration.
In file course of the aftermum much a
inlikunipb was caused lip n volunteer Tool
race' itriaind, ‘ Elite'. track, between two' men.—
The tliree multi halls were thronged with vis
itor:l the last ; hour of the exhibition, and
the excellence 'of Ihe artielt;:t there displayed
fully deserved the attention. At the musie!
sln 1 dur i n g th e allermiom a large number
ofl.o listed to the reading .
of the list Id' awards of lur diutn.4. Th e y are
'several hours. At the conclusion, Dr. Bryan
,tnounted the judge's stand in the centre of
the race course, and read a very interesting
address on veterinary matters to an audience
which appeared to listen to it with much in
terest. The expected adtlress by the lion.
William M. Meredith was not delivered, in
consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Sr.
The whole number of visiters to,the Fair
has not been, probably, less than 150,000.
The number of single tickets sold on Thurs
day was .10,000, while a large number of the
holders of season tickets were on the ground.
On the same day there were from 5000 to
9000 family tickets sal.. Taking average
admissions each day at .10,000, it woidd give
an aggregate of. 10,000: This at 25 cents
I per bead would be.. 510,000. This may be a
larger smn than was realized, Ina we ore in - -
dined to think not. ' The expenses of the
Society were said to be $7OOO. and the a.
mount to lie awarded in prizes $7OOO, mak
ing $1.1,000: This 'would lease a very largo
balance in favor of the Society., tintiSfor the
benefit of the object they have in view, we
trust it may be in reality so. Apart from
the pecuniary stree,,, of the Fair, we have
reason, to be proud, as Pennsylvanians, of
the evidences it contained of our•progress in
agriculture and in the mechanic arts. Nev
er Loft we in our Communwewlth wa, there,
eollected such abundant proofs of this, in the
products of the soil and of Alp , workFlnips._
It was' a monument of Pennsylvania indus
try and skill, creditable to all concerned.
Great praise is awarded to Judge WATTS ?
the able and energetic Preiiident of 'the So
ciety, who with the other officers. Were nn-
tiring in their efforts to give success to the
