The Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad company was organized and chartered April 14, 1832, to run from Troy to Ballston, a distance of twenty-five miles. The present length of road now owned and leased by the company is about 200 miles. In June, 1860, the Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad company leased the Saratoga & Schenectady rail- road and the Albany & Vermont railroad. In 1865 the company leased the Saratoga & Whitehall railroad and the Rutland & Wash- ington railroad. In 1868 it leased and became owner of all the capital stock of the Glens Falls railroad. In February, 1870, it leased the Rut- land & Whitehall railroad. May 1, 1871, the Rensselaer & Saratoga Railroad company leased all its roads and leased lines to the Delaware & Hudson Canal company, which are now operated by the latter corporation.
The Troy & New England Railroad company opened a part of its line, from Albia to Averill Park, in the winter of 1895. The motive power is electricity. The road connects with the Troy City Railroad company's lines at Albia,

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The Rensselaer County Agricultural society dates from 1819, its organization having been perfected June 3 of that year, in the court house, by the election of George Tibbits, president; Herman Knicker- bocker, first vice president; Simon Newcomb, second vice-president; Edmund C. Genet, third vice-president; Philip Heartt, treasurer; George R. Davis, corresponding secretary; and Henry Hoyle, record- ing secretary. The first managers, elected at the next meeting, July 14, 1819, were: Thomas Clowes, Stephen V. R. Schuyler, John P. Cushman, Stephen Ross, Thomas Turner, Hugh Peebles, Troy; Jacob C. Lansing, Wooster Brookins, Smith Germond, Lansingburgh; Bethel Mather, Schaghticoke; Moses Warren, John Carpenter, jr., Hoosick; Burton Hammond, Berlin ; Henry Platt, Stephentown; Fenner Palmer, Nassau; Asa Gardner, Samuel J. McChesney, Martin Springer, Bruns- wick; Michael S. Vandercook, Pittstown; Joseph Case, Petersburgh ; Ziba Hewitt, Grafton; William Carmichael, Sand Lake; Cornelius Schermerhorn, Schodack; John Briere, Greenbush. October 12 and 13 following the first annual fair was held on the society's grounds in Troy, south of Hoosick street. From that time on fairs were held annually, generally in Troy, sometimes in the meadows in the southern part of the city, sometimes on the bank of the Hudson between Troy and Lansingburgh and sometimes in the southern part of Lansing- burgh. The grounds at the intersection of Market and Canal streets, east of Lansingburgh, were purchased in 1857 of George Vail and others, and for three years thereafter fairs were held there. In 1860 new grounds in the southern part of Lansingburgh, on Vail avenue, were purchased, commodious buildings were erected and a driving track laid out. During the two latter years of the war the society leased its grounds and buildings to the United States government for use as a convalescent hospital, at the rate of $300 per month. When the government relinquished possession the society improved the grounds and purchased some of the buildings. From time to time large expenditures for further improvements continued to be made until 1874, when the society, finding itself deeply involved financially and with income entirely too small for its maintenance, released the grounds upon foreclosure of heavy mortgages, and the property was sold by the sheriff.
One of the most thriving county associations, the Rensselaer County Sunday School union, was established in 1832 under the auspices of and auxiliary to the American Sunday School union. The union was
18

made up of representatives of numerous evangelical churches, all Sun - day schools in the county connected with evangelical churches being admissible as members. The union does much commendable mission- ary work, and under its directions Bibles are distributed at intervals throughout the county. The union regularly corresponds with the State association and with the various town unions in the county, all of which are in elose sympathy with one another.
The Rensselaer County Bible society was organized July 11, 1815, in the court-house, by the election of these officers: Rev. Jonas Coc, president; Rev. Ralph Westervelt, first vice-president; Rev. Samuel Blatehford, second vice-president; Daniel Buel, Jr., corresponding secretary; Rev. Francis Wayland, recording secretary; Derick Lane, treasurer: Rev. Parker Adams, Tobias Spicer, Rev. John Younglove, Jr., Rev. Justus Hull, Dr. Ely Burrett, Hon. Josiah Masters, Jacob A. Fort, Hon. Hosea Moffitt, and James L. Hogeboom, board of managers. The society's chief work is to supply Bibles to the needy.
The Mohawk and Hudson River Humane society was originally in- corporated as the Albany County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which was organized April 27, 1887. The original title was changed to the existing one May 3, 1889, the change being made as the title indicates, for the double purpose of enlarging its territorial scope and including suffering brutes in its humane endeavors. March 7, 1892, the executive committee of the society was formally incorporated in Albany county as the Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. April 13, 1894, a special act of the Legislature took effect, which consolidated the two societies under the title now held. This constituted the first combined society in the State of New York uniting the care of children and animals.
One of the most memorable storms which ever fell upon the county was that occurring on the afternoon of August 27, 1891. For several days the streams had been swollen by heavy rains. During the day many of the small streams overflowed their banks and the Hudson river rose rapidly. This immense raging torrent was still further in- creased late in the afternoon by a disastrous cloudburst, the result being the total destruction of a number of bridges and dams, heavy damage to many mills, hotels and dwellings, and the loss of one life. The valley of the Wynantskill was the scene of the greatest destruction, and here many cattle were drowned, besides which thousands of dollars' worth of property was devastated. The bridges destroyed were val-

ued at $25,000. At Poestenkill William MeChesney, aged twenty-one, was carried away on a bridge, with four other men, and was drowned. His companions were saved. The greatest damage was sustained in the city of Troy and the towns of Sand Lake, Poestenkill, Berlin and Petersburgh.
November 30, 1895, the New York State board of assessors rendered a decision favorable to the city of Troy and against the towns in the matter of the equalized valuation of the city. The decision took off from the equalized assessed valuation of the city the sum of $2, 280,064 and divided it among the country towns. It made the total valuation of the city $42, 187, 813 and the total city and county valuation about $72,000,000. Complaint had been made by the people of Troy that the eity had been paying more than its share of the taxes, and the State assessors upheld this contention. The total real and personal equaliza- tion, as corrected by the State assessors, was:
Troy, $43,886,522; Berlin, $172,851; Brunswick, $2,553,631; East Greenbush, $1,- 523,233: Grafton, $205,204; Greenbush, $3,525, 496; Hoosick, $6,056,914; Lansing- burgh, $6 589,375; Nassau, $823, 409; North Greenbush, $2,004,626; Petersburgh, $514,408; Pittstown, $2, 738,712; Poestenkill, 8552, 828; Sand Lake, 8868,376; Schagh- ticoke, $3, 123, 176; Schodack, $3, 720, 455; Stephentown, 8523, 413.
As a result of the strained relations between the inhabitants of the city of Troy and of the country towns over the question of taxation, an effort was made by the latter in the years 1895 and 1896 to divide the county, setting off all the towns under the name of Morton county, in honor of Governor Levi P. Morton, and leaving the city of Troy identi- cal in its limits with the county of Rensselaer. The matter was brought up on several occasions in the board of supervisors and an effort was made on the part of the advocates of division to secure the co-operation of State Senator Le Grand C. Dibbits and the county's representatives in the State Assembly; but the movement came to naught.
An agitation, covering a period of several years, in favor of free roads in the county, finally culminated in 1895 and 1896 in an endeavor to secure legislation abolishing all the toll gates within the limits of the county. It was argued that the existence of the toll gates was detri- mental to the interests of Troy, Albany and the villages along the Hud- son, as well as to the farming interests. No legislation to the end had been obtained as late as 1896, but in this year the advocates of free roads were still agitating the subject in a spirited manner which event- nally doubtless will be greeted with success.
