For Stallions over 4 years old, 



1st premium of $20, to Mr. Long's chestnut horse Eclipse. 

 2d " 12, to Mr. Long's sorrel horse Sir Henry. 



3(J " 8, to Mr. M'Kinney's chestnut horse Sir Henry, 



And a diploma to Mr. Long's dapple bay horse Magnum, as 4th 

 best. 



For Stallions three years old. 



The committee regret that but two were shown, and that, under 

 the rule laid down by the Society, they did not feel authorized to 

 award a premium to either. 



They have likewise to regret that in the first class of brood mares 

 and colts, nothing was shown, which, in their opinion, merited the 

 premiums offered by the Society. 



In the second class of 3 year old brood mares, there was but one 

 mare offered • there being no competition, no premium could be 

 awarded. 



For Matched Horses. 



1st premium of $15, to Mr. Brinckerhoff's pair of bay horses. 



2d " 10, to Mr. Johnson's pair of black horses. 



3d " 5, to Mr. Mesick's pair of bay horses. 



The committee are of opinion that the style of horse contemplated 

 by the Society, as the " horse of all work," has not been exactly 

 represented by any of the horses offered for competition. They have 

 endeavored, to the best of their judgment, to award the premiums to 

 such horses as approached the nearest to the required model. 



Mr. Ball says — I agree with the committee in the foregoing re- 

 port, except as to breeding mares and colts. I think the mare Clio, 

 and the colt by her side, entered by E. Long of Cambridge, entitled 

 to the first premium offered by the Society. 



REPORT ON FOREIGN STOCK. 



[ Committee : — Messrs. Henry S. Randall, Francis Rotch, and George 



J. PUMPELLY.] 



The committee on Foreign Stock, would respectfully report: — 

 They have had the pleasure of examining a grey four year old Nor- 

 man stallion, presented by Mr. Edward Harris of Moorestown, New 

 Jersey, and imported by that gentleman from France. This horse 

 belongs to the breed used for the diligence or stage coach in France, 

 and although not decidedly fleet, they are remarkable for their bot- 

 tom and endurance. It may, indeed, be well doubted whether any 

 other variety of horses would drag those cumbrous vehicles so great 

 distances in a given time. Like their descendants, the Canadian 

 horses, they are easily kept, will feed on the coarsest materials, and 

 are remarkable for their freedom from disease, and their iron hardi- 

 hood and endurance under all circumstances.
