WALDO COUNTY SOCIETY. 349 



P. Pitman of Waldo, presented a young Drew, five years old, of 

 fine action, and ^^hen trained for trotting will no doubt compare 

 favorably with other fast nags. 



A. G. Mudgett of Belfast, presented his young Hiram Drew, five 

 years old. With careful usage, good grooming and training, Hiram 

 would soon be called one of the fast ones." 



The Committee on Mares and Colts report, that "there were 

 seven mares with their colts entered for premiums. 



Tliey award the first premium to A. S. Forbes of Brooks, on his 

 five years old mare — weight twelve hundred and seventy pounds — 

 with a fine colt by her side, both of the Messenger stock. 



The second premium, to Mr. Osborn of Palermo. His mare is 

 the seventeenth colt, of an English mare, which the Osborns have 

 raised. She had a fine colt, sired by what is now called the Old 

 Fox, which was reared by N. Pierce of Montville, afterwards owned 

 by A. Hayford of Belfast. 



The third premium, to William H. Hall of Belfast, on his Mes- 

 senger mare, with a colt from the Drew stock. 



Your Committee examined some fine mares with very nice colts, 

 presented by Messrs, Hilt, Pitman, Oilman and Cross, but as there 

 were only three premiums offered, we had to govern ourselves ac- 

 cordingly. A. R. Pierce, Chairman. 



The Committee on Trotting Horses, report as follows : 



Horses over Jive years old — distance half mile. — First premium 

 to Plough Boy, owned and driven by Horace McKenney of Monroe ; 

 second do., to Gray Charley, owned by S. C. Dean of Lincolnville, 

 and driven by David Harding of Belfast; third do., to Lady Well- 

 man, owned and driven by Thomas H. Wellman of Belmont. 



Horses under Jive years old — distance half mile. — First pre- 

 mium to Lincolnville Boy, owned and driven by Seth M. Young of 

 Lincolnville; second do., to Hiram Drew, owned and driven by A. 

 G. Mudgett of Belfast. 



The best time was by Plough Boy, in one minute and thirty-three 

 seconds; second best, by Lincolnville Boy, in one minute and forty- 

 five seconds. The track was very heavy, on account of the recent 

 rains, which very much impeded the speed of the horses." 



J. D. Tucker, Chairman.
