Ist. — Examined the Company Bull Duke of Manlius, owned near 

 Farmington Falls, and were unanimous in pronouncing him a very 

 nice animal. Your committee were not furnished with a statement 

 of pedigree, therefore cannot report. Consider him the best bull on 

 exhibition.

 Your committee recommend him worthy the patronage of all your 

 stock growers. Being owned out of the county, we cannot report 

 on him.

 ington; found him a good animal. Said bull is four years old.

 ington. Said cow is seven years old, and bred by J. Wadsworth ; 

 has a calf by her side ; both were good animals. There being no 

 competition, your committee award her the first premium. 



5th. — Examined the two years old heifer Caroline, got by Stately 

 out of Aurora. Your Committee award her the second premium.
