ON BULLS AND FAT CATTLE. 35 



ON BULLS. 



Seven bulls were presented for premium, and the committee 

 have unanimously awarded the premiums as follows : 



To J. G. Walcott, of Danvers, for his two year old native 

 bull, first premium, - - - - $7 00 



To Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, for his two year old Devon 

 bull, second premium, - - - - 6 00 



To David Lake, of Topsfield, for his three year old half Ayr- 

 shire bull, third premium, - - - 5 00 



For the Committee, SOLOMON LOW. 



ON FAT CATTLE. 



The Committee on Fat Cattle, having attended to the duties 

 assigned them, would respectfully Report : 



There were only three entries for premium, one by Jesse 

 Sheldon, of Beverly, one fat heifer ; one by Daniel Low, of 

 Essex, one pair of fat oxen, six years old, weighing three thou- 

 sand, six hundred pounds ; one by Jedediah Farnham, of An- 

 dover, two pair oxen, one pair weighing three thousand eight 

 hundred and ninety-five pounds, the other pair three thousand 

 six hundred and sixty-five pounds. 



There were two other pairs on exhibition, by Joseph Leav- 

 itt, of Salem, very fine cattle, but as they were not entered for 

 a premium, this passing notice is all we can express. 



On examination, your committee could find no person to 

 show or describe but the four cattle belonging to Mr. Farn- 

 ham, of Andover, one pair of which we did not think came up 

 to the requirements of the Society's rules. The other pair, on 

 the other hand, were a fine pair of cattle, and fully entitled to 

 consideration. We therefore award to Mr. Farnham, for his 

 best ox, the first premium, - - - $10 00 



And the second premium for his mate, - 8 00 



For the Committee, WINGATE MERRILL.
