148 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



Steers. 



The committee viewed and examined thirty-two pairs of 

 cattle, and assigned sixteen premiums. They would very 

 gladly have doubled their number of premiums, and rewarded 

 every competitor, if the arrangements of the society had put 

 sufficient funds at their disposal. In class No. 8, comprising 

 steers three years old, broken to the yoke, their decisions are as 

 follows : — 



The first premium of eight dollars, is awarded to Simon Car- 

 penter, of Charlton, for a pair of steers three year sold, weighing 

 1870 pounds, of a cross between the Devon and Durham breeds, 

 and raised in Petersham. 



The second premium of seven dollars, is awarded to Moses 

 M. Garfield, of Princeton, for a pair of steers three years old, of 

 Durham breed, weight unknown, raised in Princeton. 



The third premium of six dollars, is awarded to Samuel 

 Perry, of Worcester, for a pair of steers three years old, of one 

 quarter Durham breed, weighing 2820 pounds, and raised in 

 Worcester. 



The fourth premium of five dollars, is awarded to Daniel 

 Tenney, of Sutton, for a pair of twin steers three years old, of 

 native breed, Aveighing 2610 pounds, and raised in Sutton. 



The fifth premium of four dollars, is awarded to Waters 

 Putnam, of Sutton, for a pair of steers three years old, of the 

 creampot breed, weighing 2600 pounds, and raised in Sutton. 



The sixth premium of two dollars, is awarded to Isaac Bur- 

 den of Sutton, for a pair of steers three years old, of native 

 breed, weighing 2570 pounds, and raised in Sutton. 



The committee desire to take notice of a pair of very fine 

 animals belonging to this class, owned by Asa Rice, of West 

 Boylston, and offered for exhibition only. These steers are of 

 the Devon breed, three and a half years old, weighing 3376 

 pounds, and raised in the State of New York. Though not 

 entitled, under the rules of the society, to a premium, their 

 beauty, strength and docility cannot be too highly commended. 

 The committee are obliged to own, that only the accident of 

 birthplace deprived these animals of the first premium.
