In 1859 the fair was held in a ten-acre lot at Hemp- stead, and 5,000 persons were present. Three premiums were offered for the best trotting horse and 7 premiums for carriages, market wagons and harness. Two market wagons attached together, covered with a canopy of sheaves of corn, wheat, &c., and drawn by 15 yoke of cattle, with banners and music, brought in a delegation from Flushing. About 100 cattle were on exhibition and nearly as many horses. Jacob Williams exhibited 80 varieties of apples and pears, and Isaac Hicks 87.

FAIRS OF 1860-73.

On September 19th 1860 the fair was held on land brace a greater and greater variety of articles. Figs, oranges and lemons were now added to the list. On June 23d 1869 a horticultural show was held of flowers, floral designs, etc. There were 120 varieties of roses from T. W. Kennard, of Glen Cove; also fine grapes, of B. N. Creed at Jamaica. There were 8,000 spectators. Premiums were offered for trotting horses and stoves; and $10 each for essays on the agricultural history of Queens county, on horses and on the potato and its dis- eases. Ladies' needle-work and fancy work was now ad- lemons, oranges, bananas, and exotics from Brazil. There mitted free and admission tickets given the exhibitors. The horses "Enterprise," "Jupiter," and " Abdallah = received premiums. Mr. Burgess showed 140 varieties of flowers. Isaac B. Lewis had the greatest variety of vegetables and a pumpkin of 140 pounds.

At the fair of 1861 a single admission was fixed at 15 cents; carriage $2; no horses to be hitched on the grounds. The officers now wore crimson rosettes and the judges white badges.

In 1862 the fair was held on the Fashion course, New- town. Admission tickets were raised to 25 cents, and a police force was employed. Premiums were offered for the best specimens of writing from any public school in the county. Premiums were offered for shorthorns, Devons, Herefords, Ayrshires and Alderneys, and other than thoroughbreds. S. R. Bowne offered a special pre- mium of $roo for the best stallion; and the Flushing Railroad Company $1oo for the best trotter in harness, driven by the owner; $20 for the best trained saddle horse, and $250 for the best pair of road horses.

At the annual town meeting in Hempstead on April 3d 1866 a paralellogram of 40 acres of plain lands near Mineola was voted to the society for a nominal sum; but to revert to the town when it ceases to be used by the society for the promotion of agriculture. This vote was legalized by the Legislature April 23d 1867.

On June 18th the board of managers met to consider plans and estimates for the proposed improvements. The secretary, John Harold, presented plans of buildings, which were adopted. On July 26th the first post was set and work fairly begun. Digging post holes, grading, carting lumber, etc., were so hurried on by voluntary labor that the grounds in about seven weeks were ready for the fair held September 27th and 28th 1866, when there were 170 entries of horses, and trials of speed took place on the oval half mile track on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons.

The gross receipts for the first four years of perma- nent location at Mineola were $50,317.23, of which $9,- 500 was borrowed on interest. In addition to the volun- tary labor and donations $24,000 was expended in con- struction. The cost of the hall was $8, 115.32; of the stalls, stables, etc., $9,809.47; of trees planted, $116.22.

The first horticultural exhibition was held on Friday June 21st 1867. A premium of $10 was offered for the best collection of vegetables by a market gardener. There were premiums also for strawberries, flowers, spring vegetables and house plants in pots. Forty pre- miums were awarded. The net proceeds of the ladies' festival amounted to $846.75.

At the fall fair $15 was offered for 40 varieties of apples and the best 20 varieties of pears.

The premium list kept steadily extending so as to em-

were fine roses from William A. Burgess; roses and cut- flowers from Isaac Hicks & Sons; Barbarossa grapes from Mrs. Brownson, and 48 seedling strawberries from F. H. Bogart. In 1870 hand lawn-mowers were on ex- hibition. The ladies held a festival, the net proceeds of which ($758.76) were applied toward liquidating the debt of the society.

The fall fair of 1869 was the best so far held in regard to articles on show and numbers in attendance. There were 118 entries of cattle, for which $365 in premiums was awarded; 161 of horses, for which $450 was awarded; 70 of sheep; 206 of poultry, for which $172 was awarded; 88 of articles for the table, for which $50 was awarded; 265 of needle-work; 280 of manufactured articles; $1or was awarded for swine; $70 for vege- tables; $130 for carriages; $281 for fruits and flowers The receipts from all sources were $8,785.56; the ex- penditures were $8,690.62. The total amount of the so- ciety's indebtedness was $1,500.

At the fall fair, 1870, $2,049 was paid out in premiums. The Long Island Railroad usually conveyed articles to and from the ground free of charge. The fee for life membership was raised from $10 to $25. The entrance fees and carriage tickets amounted to $3,622.73; from rent of ground and buildings $980.85 was received.

At the horticultutal show on June 14th 1871 Allen & Co. exhibited a miniature garden, laid out with walks and terraces, blooming with choice flowers, and having a fountain in the center. Varieties of fine strawberries were exhibited by Messrs. Seaman, Bogart & Snedeker, and hot-house grapes by Mr. Bronson. There was paid in premiums $233. The remaining grounds were now fenced in with locust posts, rails fastened on hitching- posts for tying over 400 teams, and a well was dug for watering horses. The cost of these improvements was $728.93. At the fall fair, besides the usual articles, there were shown endless varieties of wines, cordials, bread, cakes, jellies, pies, preserves, pickles, canned fruits, etc., etc. The vegetables required for their proper display nearly 200 feet in length of table room. For premiums $2,624 was paid.

For the fall fair of 1872 premiums were offered for thoroughbred shorthorned cattle, Devons, Herefords, Ayrshires and Alderneys, for grade and native cattle, working oxen, working horses, matched and saddle horses, mules and ponies; foreign and native grapes, quinces, plums, peaches, cranberries, blackberries, figs, oranges, lemons, melons, knitting, netting, crochet and fancy work, paintings, musical instruments, etc.

At the horticultural show in 1873 there was a trial of hand lawn-mowers. The premiums paid at the fall meet- ing amounted to $2,541. The judges complained of a lack of correct pedigrees of cattle and horses, the answers

from the competitors being loosely given-that it was a " Messenger" mare, or a " Bellfounder," " Hambletonian," "Almack," "Abdallah " or "Eclipse," or simply a thor- oughbred mare. "Messenger " was imported in 1797 and died on Long Island in 1808.

In 1874 a new grand stand was erected, stabling as- commodations were increased, and the track was im- proved, at a cost of $8,482.32, and the society yet had a debt of $2,000. At the fall exhibition there were 130 entries of cattle, 189 of horses and 63 of sheep. In swine the Berkshire took the lead. Nearly all the different breeds of poultry were represented. A gold medal was given A. Corbet, of Hicksville, for his chicken-incubator and artificial mother. For the bench show of dogs there were 120 entries. There was the largest show ever made in the county of farm implements: $3.814 was paid out in premiums.

In 1875 two days were allowed for the horticultural show. There was a grand plowing match; a bench show of dogs; the American game of base ball was played by amateurs, residents of the county, for a silver ball given by the society; $2,397 was paid in special premiums.

In 1876 there was a balance of $3,007.23 in the treasury. At the horticultural exhibition was held a " ladies' festival," which made a handsome contribution to the funds of the society. A base ball tournament at - tracted much attention, as well as the display of horses. A few of the Montauk and Shinnecock Indians were present as visitors. The crowning feature of the occasion was the Centennial exhibition of relics of olden times, such as old books, documents of every kind, Indian deeds, newspapers, old-fashioned implements of household and kitchen furniture, antiquated dresses, needle-work, swords, etc., etc. The variety was endless and gave unbounded pleasure to the curious.

At the fall fair the show of horses exceeded all pre- vious years. Potatoes were injured by the Colorado beetle. Fertilizers wcre put on exhibition. The receipts from life members were $1,130; and $3,689 was paid in premiums.

The total exhibits for 1877 were 2,700. The premiums reached the sum of $3,813; the sum of $2,000 was de- posited in a savings bank, leaving a cash balance of $2,036.32 in the treasurer's hands.

In 1868 a dining hall was built. The premium list em- braced 643 first prizes and rose to the sum of $4,487.90. From the ladies' agricultural fete $113.90 was realized; from annual carriage tickets $440; from rent of stands $866.49. The interest of the horticultural show was en- hanced by an exhibition of school work, such as compo- sitions, maps, drawing, penmanship, etc., which occupied one wing of the hall, and received 24 premiums. The novel feature of the fair was lacrosse, polo and hurdle jumping by the Queens county hunt. The old grand stand was razed and the site seeded and set with shade treee.

In June 1879 there was a field trial of mowing ma- chines. The proceeds of the ladies' festival, $533.74, were deposited in a savings bank. The appropriation from the State was $221.81. A custodian was appointed

to be in constant daily attendance on the grounds through- out the year; the track was widened and remodeled , drive- ways and paths were laid out and graded, and additional shade trees planted. At the fall fair there was a mule race. For a large number of premiums for grain and vegetables there was no competition. An automatic reaper and binder was shown. The school exhibit was discontinued after this year. There were 16 competing teachers and 143 pupils.

On the night of October 29th 1880 ninety-two horse- sheds were burned. An insurance of $600 covered about half the loss. The contract for rebuilding them 24 by 150 feet, for $1,150, was awarded to H. C. Robinson, of Jamaica. At the fall fair the dining hall was better man- aged than heretofore. The ladies' festival committee had a credit of $831.06 in the Roslyn Savings Bank. The premiums paid out were $4,322, being $700 less than the previous year. The balance in the treasury was $2, 177 .- 64. The army worm, potato beetle, cabbage worm and an early drought made a bad season for farmers' produce. The pleuro pneumonia scare prevented the usual show of cattle. Dorsetshire and Yorkshire swine were exhibited by Mr. Belmont. There were also native and seedling grapes, a unique display of taxidermy and Jersey marl and artificial fertilizers. Premiums for a plowing con- test at the summer exhibition were offered to the amount of $30, and $50 for bicycling. There were five com- petitors for the former and ten for the latter.

The horticultural exhibition Tuesday and Wednesday June 8th and 9th 1881 was too early for the backward sea- son. William A. Burgess had the most roses, including the Mareschal Neil; Albert Beng had a great variety of cut flowers; T. D. Cook had three cauliflowers; Mr. Barnum had the greatest variety of vegetables raised by one ex- hibitor: J. H. Van Nostrand had peas in pod, cabbage, lettuce, etc .; E. P. Roche had over 70 varieties of straw- berries, one plant bearing over 200 berries. There were cheeses from the creamery in Roslyn.

The fall fair was held September 27th, 28th and 29th; E. J. Jerome was superintendent of the hall. The fourth annual fete was held on the evening of September 8th.

The presidents of the society have been as follows: Effingham Lawrence, 1841-44; Singleton Mitchell, 1845; William T. McCoun, 1847, 1856; John A. King, 1848; D. R. F. Jones, 1858; Edward A.

SUPPORT OF THE UNION.

CHAPTER VI.

QUEENS COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR-RECORD OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

N the Southern States taking their first meas- ures for withdrawing from the federal Union Queens county generally raised a dissenting voice. Whenever a "peace meeting " was advertised it was at once put down. The peacemakers and friends of the South were called "snakes," "copperheads," " secesh " and the like, and there were occasional family feuds growing out of a diversity of opinion. There were many patriotic meetings and visible signs of popular opinion, such as flag-raisings, which inflamed and fed the war sentiment.

When the men were about leaving their families and setting out for the seat of war "soldiers' aid societies " and " home relief associations " were formed to provide for the families of absent soldiers. Hospital supplies and clothing were sent to the Sanitary Commission at Wash- ington. Even the " Friends " were active in a cause that held out liberty to the slave.

A camp of instruction, called "Winfield Scott," was formed on Hempstead Plains and barracks for "Camp Woodhull " were set up in Doughty's Grove, near Queens.

All sojourners from the South were put under sur- veillance and espionage; and resident citizens of doubt- ful standing were waited upon by rough-hewn patriots and forced to hurrah for the Union in order to escape rude handling. A Union war meeting was held at New- town, when a huge coffin mounted on wheels was trundled through the streets, labeled "Newtown Secession died out August 29th 1861;" southern rebels and northern traitors were alike denounced.

There were so many calls for men to suppress the re- bellion that volunteers were at length hard to be got and a draft had to be resorted to. The board of enrollment included Colonel Rose, who died January 12th 1864 and was succeeded by Captain James A. Fleury as provost- marshal, William T. McCoun was commissioner, Drs. Prior, Ordronaux and Richardson were in succession examining surgeons. The first draft for Queens county was set down for July 15th 1863, the quota being 1,603; but was put off till September 2nd, owing to the Irish anti-draft riot which broke out at Jamaica on the even- ing of July 14th. Its purpose was to stop the draft which was to commence on the morrow. Rumors of intended violence were rife during the day, and some friends of order felt disposed to arm themselves in defense of gov- ernment, but timid counsels prevailed, and the village was left at the mercy of the rioters. About dusk they began to collect. A. Hagner and H. W. Johnson ex. horted them to observe the laws. This was not to their taste and some one cried out, "Now for the clothing." At once they went to the building where the government

property was stored, with intent to destroy it. They, how- ever, contented themselves (on the entreaty of some leading Democrats) with taking out some boxes of cloth- ing, which they broke open, piled in heaps and set on fire. The largest pile, which they derisively called "Mount Vesuvius" was about ten feet high. The woolen did not readily burn, and much of it was carried off by Irish women for their family use. The loss was $3,446.28. It consisted of 210 knit shirts, So pairs stockings, 30 trow- sers, 59 knapsacks, 400 haversacks, 389 blankets, 153 canteens and 523 blouses. The mob next proceeded to McHugh's hotel, where they drank freely without cost. The provost-marshal's office was then forcibly entered and furniture broken to pieces. The wheel and papers had been removed that afternoon to a place of safety, and Colonel Rose with the other officers had fled away.

Another draft began September 24th 1864, the quota being 852. As much as $600 was offered for a recruit. Queens county paid for war purposes $1,275,380.82.

With the exception of the Flushing battery (see his- tory of Flushing) no military organizations were formed in Queens; but volunteers joined existing organizations in this and other States.

We append a record by towns of Queens county's volunteers, compiled from official rolls at Albany and from other sources. Besides the abbreviations which will be recognized as indicating the different ranks and arms of the service, k. is used for killed, w. for wounded, d. for died, and pro. for promoted.
