 of Putnam county. 



The premium for the third best pen of three ewes, to Thomas 

 Dunn of Albany. 



The premium for the fourth best pen of three ewes, to J. McD. 

 Mclntyre of Albany. 



The number and excellence of the animals submitted to the inspec- 

 tion of the committee, cause regret at the limited number of premi- 

 ums at their discretion. They would particularly notice a pen of 

 three ewes, belonging to H. Morrison of Orange county, and a pen 

 of twenty-three beautiful lambs, belonging to Messrs. Corning & 

 Sotham, which commanded their admiration as choice specimens of 

 this class of sheep, which is now attracting public attention, and for 

 the introduction of which from abroad, the country is indebted to the 

 liberal enterprise of several gentlemen, distinguished for their zeal in 

 promoting the interests of agriculture. 



REPORT ON MIDDLE WOOLED SHEEP. 



[Committee : — Messrs. E. Marks, S. W. Jewett and D. S. Curtis.] 



Tlie committee on Middle Wooled Sheep, would respectfully re- 

 port: — 



That the sheep offered for their inspection, were, with one excep- 

 tion, all South Downs, and in these the competition was very close; 

 so much so that it was with considerable difficulty that the commit- 

 tee decided upon the comparative merits of the sheep belonging to 

 Messrs. Rotch and Mclntyre. But after mature deliberation, the 

 committee have awarded the first prize on middle wooled bucks, to 

 J. McD. Mclntyre of Albany; the second to F. M. Rotch of But- 

 ternutts; the third, and diploma, to S. Waite of Montgomery. 



The committee have also awarded the first prize on middle wooled 

 ewes, to F. M. Rotch of Otsego; the second to J. McD. Mclntyre 

 of Albany; the third to S, Waite of Montgomery; the diploma to 

 C. N. Bement of Albany.
