Your committee were of the opinion that the coop of fowls 

 entered by E. Wixom, as Cochin Chinas, were not pure bloods, 

 and therefore did not feel warranted in awarding a premium. 



The lot of Shanghaes entered by E. A. Howland were good, 

 and well worthy of notice ; but there being no second premium 

 none could be awarded. 



All of which is submitted, with the sincere hope that at our 

 next annual State fair there will be a better show in this de- 

 partment ; if there is not, your committee would very respect- 

 fully decline serving in this capacity again.
