No. 105.] 119 



The first premium of fifteen dollars to R. Eells. 

 The second, a silver medal, to F. Ingersoll. 



Cheese less than one year old. 



There were thirty-six competitors, showing over one hundred large 

 cheeses, and the committee are happy to say that of all the cheeses 

 exhibited, nearly two hundred, and weighing in the aggregate not 

 far from eighteen thousand pounds, there was not one poor cheese, 

 nor one that might not be a desirable present to a friend. As the 

 rule, presented by the society, requiring a full statement from each 

 dairy, has been very generally complied with, a mass of the most 

 valuable information upon that subject has been placed in the posses- 

 sion of the society, and through them should be laid before the public. 



The committee award 



The first premium of fifteen dollars to W. S. Ford, of Salisbury, 

 erkimer county. 



To Mrs. W. Ottley, Oaks corner, Ontario county, the second pre- 

 mium. 



To F. Hallenbeck, of Herkimer county, the third premium. 



To N. Wilcox, Winfield, Herkimer county, the fourth premium. 



To J. Smalley, Norway, Herkimer county, the fifth premium. 



The committee have found great diflficulty in determining to whom 

 from among a large number of competitors the several prizes should 

 be awarded, so close was the competition. 



Two samples of round or navy cheese were exhibited by Messrs. 

 Spencer and Brown, of Newport, Herkimer county. It is a kind of 

 cheese heretofore manufactured almost exclusively in Holland. It 

 did not come within the range of premiums offered by the society. 

 But the committee consider the enterprise worthy of commendation. 

 Diploma awarded. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
