REPORT OlSr HORSES. 



The Judges to whom was assigned the duty of deciding on the 

 quality and merits of the several horses for the premiums found 

 the task both arduous and fraught with difficulties. Their atten- 

 tion was called to something over forty horses, all of which were 

 of very good quality and many of them possessing so many good 

 qualities that it was hard to make up an opinion that would be 

 just and equitable to all the parties interested. We found no 

 difficulty however in coming to the conclusion that the stud- 

 horse entered by Mr. W. H. Wright, of Waukau, was the best 

 animal on the ground, but as he has not been in the county but 

 a short time we could not award him a premium ; and as he will 

 be entered at our show next year, we thought best not to recom-

Mr. P. Kelley entered his horse and dray, which were of su-

One of the horses entered by Mr. H. Cronkhite, of Neenah, 

 was a very fine animal and deserving of the patronage of the 

 public, but as he has not been long enough in the county to en-

 cattle show as a competitor with Mr. Wright's horse we forbear 

 to recommend any gratuity and will only observe that the own- 

 ers of both these animals are entitled to much credit for introduc-

All the work teams and draft horses presented for our inspec-

 to which the premium belonged. It will not therefore be in any 

 way strange if there should be a degree of dissatisfliction express- 

 ed by those who failed to receive a premmm by our decision. 

 Where all the horses possess so many good points it is very nat- 

 ural for every man to think his own the best. 



Two of the Judges had horses entered which would have
