LINCOLN COUNTY SOCIETY. 



Of this, the Secretary writes thus : 



" This Society now embraces seven hundred members — two hun- 

 dred and four new ones having been added during the past year. Its 

 annual exhibition was held at Waldoborough, on the 13th, 14th and 

 15th days of October. It is in a very flourishing condition. The 

 show of stock this year was large, and the various specimens were said 

 by good judges to be very fine. ^ There was also a very large show of 

 horses and colts, there being about sixty entries in this department 

 for premiums. There was a large display of vegetables, and, con- 

 sidering the unfavorable season, the display of fruit was very fine. 

 There were about seven hundred entries in the various departments 

 for premiums; and taking it altogether, it was one of the finest 

 County Shows ever holden in this State. The amount of premiums 

 paid out was nearly four hundred dollars." 



The reports from this Society comprise little else than awards of 

 premiums. Some of these for prize animals are, 



First premium, for entire horse, to Dr. Moses Call, Newcastle. 



Second do., do., to Asa Keiser, Waldoborough. 



Thiid do., do., to Washington Sherman, Waldoborough. 



Gratuity to Vf. G. Berry, Rockland, for entire colt. 



Fiist premium, for breeding mare, to G. E. Cummings, Union. 



Second do., do., to William Achorn, Waldoboi'ough. 



Thiid do., do , to Amos Flye, Newcastle. 



!Many other premiums were awarded for geldings, colts, family 

 and working horses; and the Committee say, that yeaily, there is 

 more interest taken in this county in breeding and raising horses; 

 and aie of the opinion that greater inducements should be held out 

 in future to encourage their production.
