description Racing print showing the black Morgan trotting horse racing around the track at the grounds of the fourth national exhibition of the U.S.A.S held October 7-11, 1856. The driver wears a derby and plaid vest. In the background, several spectators watch the event from stands or standing within the center of the track. The judges’ stand, the tents for the President and Marshall of the fair, and a tree adorned with the flag of the U.S. Agricultural Society are also visible inside the track. The United States Agricultural Society, formed in 1852 at a convention called by 12 state agricultural societies, strove "to embody in one central Association, the valuable information already obtained by various local Societies, and to establish a more intimate connection between them; to correspond with foreign Societies, and to diffuse a knowledge of their most important Agricultural improvements and discoveries; and, in various other ways, to aid the promotion of this noble art.&quot
