ards by which to form an estimate of the whole. Let breeders 

 bring forward their whole stock, and we shall soon be able to 

 form an opinion as to what breed and w^hat grade is the best 

 adapted to our soil and climate. Mr. C. has something yet to ac- 

 complish before he produces a perfect animal, but knowing his 

 zeal and perseverance, we have great confidence in his ultimate 

 success. The committee would most cordially recommend to Mr. 

 Clark a discretionary premium of a large silver medal, and as 

 cordially recommend his example to be followed by others here- 

 after. 



On the subject of condition, your committee would further re- 

 mark that while they consider certain animals in No. 84, to 

 which they have awarded premiums, were somewhat too high in 

 condition, they also must regret that other animals in No. 94, 

 were decidedly too poor to do themselves justice, w'hile they beg 

 leave to suggest that the whole of the stock No. 110, shown by 

 George Clark, were in exactly the best and most healthy condition 

 for store cattle, and for a fair exhibition of their points and 

 quality. 



We were gratified again to see on the ground, those excellent 

 models of Herefords, " Victoria," the property of E. Corning, Jr., 

 and her produce, " Lilla," the property of William H. Sotham. 

 Both these cows having on former occasions been awarded first 

 premiums, }^our committee most respectfully suggest that, as a 

 distinguishing mark of excellence, a diploma be granted to each 

 of these.
