CLASS XIX. FOREIGN HORSES. 



The Committee on foreign horses beg leave to report that for want 

 of time they are not enabled to give a minute description of the ani- 

 mals entered as foreign, or of the domestic entered to compete with 

 foreign. With regard to two of the foreign horses entered as horses 

 for all work, the Committee feel bound to say, that in giving their 

 award to the horse called Victor, No. 29, they have felt that want of 

 size was the only objection to horse No. 44, called General GifFord, but 

 were he of the size required for " all work," he would be much the 

 most perfect horse exhibited in his class. 



Quite a number of horses were exhibited, all possessing many valu- 

 able qualifications, and did time permit, a more extended notice would 

 be given of them. 



It is perhaps suflficient to say that many of the domestic horses, en- 

 tered to compete with foreign horses were so superior in most quaUfi- 

 cations requisite for a perfect horse, that the Committee have felt at a 

 great loss to decide upon their merits. 



It is a gratifying fact to all interested in improving our stock of horses, 

 that so many specimens of our own raising have been exhibited to 

 compete with ioreign stock, and the Committee would recommend a 

 discretionary premium of ten dollars and a Diploma to the black horse 

 called Badger, No. 155, five years old, not presented for competition, as 

 his owner is a member of the examining Committee and felt a delicacy 

 in offering him for a premium.

5 years old, Diploma and $10 00
