PRANKLIlSr COUNTY SOCIETY. 127 



6th. — Examined the yearling heifer Susan, got by Stately out 

 of Aurora, owned by A. Hillman. Your committee thought she 

 was the best, and award her the first premium. 



7th. — Examined the bull calf owned by Almon Brown of Wilton. 

 Said calf was sired by the Duke of Athol out of the Lady Fairfax, 

 and is three months old. Your committee pronounce him a very 

 good calf, and worthy the Society's premium. No other entered. 



8th. — Examined the two years old heifer Fairfax, bred by J. 

 Wadsworth, sired by Bay State out of Lady Fairfax. She pos- 

 sessed some very good stock points, and had a very fine calf by her 

 side ; owned by A. Brown of Wilton. We award her the first pre- 

 mium. 



Mr. Brown also entered a yearling heifer, but did not present a 

 statement. Your committee judged her second best.

On fine wool bucks, the first premium was awarded to Joseph 

 Titccmb, the second to Wm. S. Gay, and the third to J. F. Butler. 



On fine wool ewes, the first premium was awarded to William S. 

 Gay. 



On lambs, the first premium to Wm. S. Gay. 



On long wool bucks, the first premium was awarded to James 

 Allen, the second to A. Hathaway of Wilton, and the third to Josiah 

 Godding. 



(The only statement returned is regarding Mr. Hathaway's buck 

 which was a grade Cotswold.) 



On coarse wool sheep, the first premium to Z. H. Greenwood. 



On lambs, the first premium to Z. H. Greenwood.

 tant department was made. This animal was presented by Col. 

 David Ingham of Farmington, and was purchased by him of Mr. 

 Wood, in Chester county, Pennsylvania, called the Chester White,

 breed is reported to excel in docility, and the ease with which they
