ON BULLS. 



The Committee on Bulls Report : 



That they have examined the five bulls entered for premium, and 

 do not think any of the animals worthy of the first premium. 



They recommend that the second premium of six dollars be award- 

 ed to Allen W. Dodge, of Hamilton, for his white Durham bull, sev- 

 enteen months old. They do not like the color of this animal, 

 but as they consider him the best formed bull, they award the premi- 

 um as above. 



The third premium of four dollars and a gratuity of Coleman'a 

 European Agriculture]to^Horace Ware, Jr., of Salem, for his native 

 bull, four years old. 



A gratuity of two dollars to Howard Roberts, of Lynn,Tor his bull, 

 three and a half years old. 



Your committee were much pleased with the Ayrshire and Devon 

 bulls, presented for exhibition only, by the Massachusetts AgriciJtu- 

 ral Society. I would recommend them to the attention of the farm- 

 ers of Essex County. 



For the Committee, 



J. H. COGGESHALL.

ON SHEEP. 



The Comnnttee on Sheep, Report : 



That there was only one lot entered for Exhibition or premium, 

 Six yews and one buck, reported to be native breed, and a sample 

 of a flock of fifty-four. 



They were from the farm of Mr. James Marsh of Danvers. 

 The entry is accompanied with a statement from him of his manner 

 of treatment, which we recommend should be published. 



The sheep appeared in ordinary condition and of common size. 

 And it may be profitable stock for a part of his farm. 



And this being the only lot entered, the Committee would recom- 

 mend a gratuity of five doUara to him, for his interest manifested 

 in bringing them to the show.
