Committee on Cattle over two years ol(l« 



The Committee appointed to examine, and 

 award premiums as offered for certain neat

 amination of the many fine animals of high 

 pedigree, and almost faultless form, offered 

 for their inspection, do respectfully report: 



Tiiat they award the first premium for the 

 best imported Durham bull, to Mr. Dennis

 mium is awarded to Mr. Isaac W. Roberts, 

 for his Dunn Steer, ten dollars. 



Fur tlie second best steer as above, they 

 award the premium to Mr. D. Ilitner, for his 

 Yellow Steer, five dollars. 



For some of the premiums offered by the 

 society, the committee regret to state that no 

 cattle wore exhibited — and in one or two in- 

 stances there was but little competition, and 

 the animals offered, though good, were not 

 thought to be fairly entitled to premiums. — 



Some others had taken the first premiums a 

 the exhibition last year, and by the rule ol 

 the society could not be offered again. Arnont 

 these, the committee would mention Mr. C 

 J. Wolbert's splendid and unrivalled importei 

 Durham bull Colostra ; Dr. Uhler's large am 

 beautiful imported Durham cow Cato, an( 

 Mr. I. W. Roberts' fine red Steer. 



Next to those to which premiums wen 

 awarded and as meriting the particular notici 

 of the committee on account of their higl 

 blood and fine qualities, they would mentioi 

 C. J. Wolbert's cows, Paschal Morris', Dr 

 Uhler's, and Thomas Rotch's — some of whicl 

 came in close competition with those to whon 

 premiums were awarded. 



Two very fine cows of mixed blood wen 

 exhibited by Samuel Richards, Esq., showinc 

 evidence of deep milking, with good size am 

 form. Other good specimens, the result ol 

 judicious crossing with improved breeds 

 were exhibited by the following gentlemen 

 viz: Richard Lardner, Esq., A. S. Roberts 

 Esq., R. T. Potts, Esq., K. Smith, Esq., Mr 

 Sidden, Mr. Samuel Cooper, and Mr. Georgf 

 Rose. Mr. G. W. Keith sent a specimen ol 

 the Guernsey breed of cattle — a very smal 

 cow with her calf; she showed evident sign; 

 of a good milker. 



*: Two very fine Durham bulls were sent b; 

 gentlemen of New Jersey — Ajax, the pro 

 perty of P. Dickinson, Esq., and Fitz Roslyn 

 the property of Messrs. Tatum and Cooper- 

 both very superior animals. 



The high bred Durham bull Emperor, wa 

 exhibited by Mr. Durkee ; also a fine Dur 

 ham bull by J. P. Wetherill, Esq., and a bul 

 of mixed blood by Mr. Shetzline. 



The committee were much gratified witl 

 the appearance of the neat cattle, generally 

 and feel confident that with proper manage- 

 ment in breeding', and more liberal feeding 

 that farmers maybe readily supplied with the 

 tnost profitable and beautiful stock of tlieii 

 own raising.
