In their decision on this branch of their duty, youi- Committee were 

 not so certain of doing justice to the intention of the Society-, ou the 

 competition in this Hst. After consulting the Executive Committee, 

 they decide that the recognized value of the breeding mare consists only 

 in the excellence of her colts. On this probably ti-ue basis, your Com- 

 mittee award the premiums as above. On the appearance and relative 

 value of the mares themselves, the decision would have been very dif- 

 ferent. There were many fine animals shown in this hst, and the nu- 

 merous colts, show decided gain upon former years.

The Committee noticed a decided improvement in the quality and 

 grade of the yearling colts, over those of three years, and upwards — a 

 gratifying proof of progression in this essential and lucrative portion of 

 afjricultural farm stock. 



A very superior span of matched carriage horses from Lucas county 

 Ohio, were exhibited on the second day of the Fair. Had they been
