BROOD MARES. 



The Committee on Brood Mares respectfully report the 

 following awards : — 



After some looking about your Committee found upon the 

 fair grounds four mares, three of them having colts by their 

 sides. Entries as follows : Benjamin P. Ware, of Marble- 

 head ; Abijah P. Fuller, of North Andover ; John B. Hodgkins, 

 of Rockport; W. H. Knowlton, of Rockport. 



At the pen of the mare " Kate," entered by Mr. B. P. Ware 

 of Marlilehead, we found her in charge of his son, who gave 

 us all the information we desired in relation to her, also a 

 written statement from Mr. Ware. We found her to be a 

 good, medium sized, young and sound animal, ada])ted to both 

 the road and the farm, six years old, weighing (by Mr. Ware's 

 statement) ten hundred pounds. The colt is four months and 

 sixteen days old, quite large of its size, well built and per- 

 fectly kind and gentle, and has every appearance of making a 

 good horse. 



The second horse examined by your Committee was a bay 

 mare belonging to Mr. Abijah P. Fuller, of Nortli Andover, 

 who had her in charge and promptly gave us all the information 

 desired. This was a very fine animal, well built, smooth 

 limbs and joints, perfectly sound and kind, and we should 

 judge by her movements that she was a remarkably good 

 traveller. The colt by her side is two months old, a perfect 

 beauty, well built, good size, and every way a promising colt. 

 We saw nothing objectionable about the mare except her age, 

 which, by her movements, looks and actions, does not injure
