On yearlings we give the preference to G. 11. Sherman, on No. 29, 

 $1 ; to A. G. Bates 2d premium, $0,50 on No. 122. 



Several excellent spans of matched horses entered the ring, giving 

 unmisUikablti evidence of being properly classed. From among them 

 we selected No. 39, Horatio Kurd's, for the first premium, $3, and No. 

 14, Kurd (L' Gibson's, the 2d premium, $2. A large span of horses, 

 and a lesser sized span of sorrels, demand notice as valuable and sub- 

 stantial teams. 



The matched horses entered were not as good as should have been, 

 judging from what the committee noticed on the ground and in the 

 streets. In fact, there was not a closely matched span presented fear 

 premium. A lively span of bay colts, No. 113, Geo. Armitage'a, we 

 deemed the best, and a smaller sized span of iron-grays, No. 174, Geo. 

 King's, the 2d best 



The show of single ponies was small but very good. J. M. Sterlrng'a, 

 Ko. 94, we dfemed the best, and 183, E. Cicott's, the 2d best. 



Na 129, belonging to A. G. Bates, we think k entitled to the 

 premium on best saddle horse, $2. 



The matched ponies excited considerable admiration and strife. 

 Some beautiful, lively animals contended for the only prize yoar 

 committee had power to award ; and that they award to Dan. T. Cole 

 on No. 23, span of blacks, $2. 



The contest for the mastery among single horses was spirited. Se?- 

 eral fine animals were on the ground, many evincing considerable speed 

 and fine action. 



All appeared exceedingly well; a fine bay and gray attracted notice 

 and were much admired. The committee hesitated between No. 180 

 and a fine Morgan, owned and driven by Col. Jas. Darrah, when the 

 Col. hearing that 180 was owned by a lady, with characteristic gallantry 

 he withdrew from the contest, and we therefore awarded the premium 

 to No. 180, Mrs. E. J, Boyd's, and recommend a vote of thanks from 

 the ladies to Col. Darrah.
