No. 63.J 27 



Your committee consider Mr. Harris' horse one of unusual sub- 

 stance and symmetry, for the breed. The shoulder lies well back, 

 the back is short, the whole conformation betraying immense strength. 

 He has a great length and substance of fore-arm, and the limb below 

 the knee is clean and short, for the character of the breed. He also 

 displayed free and spirited action. Your committee cannot but be- 

 lieve that in its pure state, this variety of horses would prove one of 

 the most valuable for heavy draft; and there is little doubt that cross- 

 ed with the light mares of our country, would produce a peculiarly 

 hardy and active race of horses, fit for the road or the plow. 



The Society were much obliged to Henry Whitney, Esq. of New- 

 Haven, Conn, for the opportunity afforded them of seeing specimens 

 of his fine Short Horn stock, his valuable imported bull " Rocket," by 

 " Norfolk," out of" Carnation," bred by Mr. Hargrave in England, 

 and his red roan cow " Strawberry," an animal that attracted much 

 attention for her substance and general good appearance. More it 

 would not become us to say, as she is engaged in a sweepstakes. 

 His beautiful heifer " Cornelia," we understand to be also in a sweep- 

 stakes, and therefore feel it necessary to abstain from comment. 



Your committee further had the gratification of viewing a fine spe- 

 cimen of the Duke of Leed's stock, in the imported bull " His Grace," 

 brought on the ground by Paschal Morris, Esq. of Allerton, Chester 

 county. Pa. This animal was by " Anthony," out of " Vinea," she 

 by Mr. Whittaker's Frederick, &c. " His Grace" is an animal of 

 great substance and much excellence. He was selected, as we are 

 informed, bv Mr. Whittaker in England, and sent over to this coun- 

 try in 1838' 



Your committee trust that no foreign stock exhibited on this occa- 

 sion, was overlooked by them — if so, the immense concourse of men 

 and animals on the ground, and the confusion necessarily attending 

 such a scene, must serve as their apology. 



REPORT ON LONG WOOLED SHEEP. 



\_Committee : — Messrs. E. Lawrence, E. Kirby, Chester Moses and 



F. M. RoTCH.] 



The committee upon Lcng Wooled Sheep, class No. ],have care- 

 fully examined the several specimens of this useful animal, which 

 have been submitted to their inspection. Where the claims of indi- 

 viduals in some instances are so nearly balanced, it is difificult to do 

 exact justice. The committee, exeicising their best judgment, and 

 having regard to the purpose which mainly recommends this class to 

 the attention of farmers near our large towns, namely, the value of 

 the carcass for the table, have endeavored to award the premiums 

 with a fair discrimination, which shall command the approbation of 

 the parties immediately interested. 



The committee award the premium for the best buck to Thomas 

 Dunn of Albany.
