three years old colts ; D. W. Skillings, of Biddeford, and Wm. H 

 Deering of Saco, for one year old colt. 



Neat Stock, Swine, Foiols, &c. The exhibition of neat cattle 

 was very fine. Horace Woodman of Saco, entered a Durham bull, 

 a splendid animal, three years old, weighing 2104 lbs. J. R, 

 Taylor of Keuuebunkport showed a fine full-blooded Durham bull, 

 which girted seven feet, and weighed 1850. Davis Googins of

 S. Lamb of Saco, had the sow of the Chester breed which took the 

 society premium in 1869, attended by thirteen of her oflspring.
