HERD OP MILCH COWS. 



The Committee on Herds of Milch Cows, report that there 

 were two entries for premiums, and that both were from 

 Gloucester. Mr. Geo. M. Wonson exhibited a herd of six 

 cows, and Mr. G. W. Herrick a herd of nine. The premiums 

 were awarded as follows : 



To G. W. Herrick of Gloucester, first premium, $15, and 

 diploma. 



To Geo. M. Wonson of Gloucester, second premium, $10. 



The Committee regarded the statement of Mr. Wonson as 

 barely explicit enough to bring his herd within the rules of 

 the Society, inasmuch as it failed to give a clear statement of 

 the yield of his herd, based upon actual measurements. 



In consideration, however, of the quality of his stock, and 

 the evident intention to comply with the prescribed regulations, 

 they felt justified in awarding him a premium. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
