 The power and movement of the cattle were tried with a load of 

 6000 lbs. in a wagon weighing 1700 lbs. — total 6700 lbs. As before 

 stated, only ten pair were tried, and one pair of them was excluded 

 from their age, (8 years) not entitling their owner to competition for 

 the premiums. After duly considering the action, size and strength 

 of the other nine pair, with reference to their respective ages, the 

 Committee award 



To John Hathaway, of Danvers, the first premium, $10 

 To Jacob Galucia, of Salem, the second " 7 



To Joseph Horton, of Ipswich, the third " 5 



The pair belonging to B. W. Crowninshield, appeared remarkably 

 well, and the Committee recommend a gratuity of Colman's Euro- 

 pean's Agriculture, for their excellence. The most of those offered 

 did well — many of them so well as to render it rather difficult to de- 

 cide which did best. 



All which is respectfully submitted, 



JACOB BROWN, Chairman. 

 Lynn, October 1st, 1846.
