We fountl it difficult, in some instances, where shades of diflfe- 

 rence \vere so very slight, and among so large a number of superior 

 animals, to decide, but in the progress of our duties we came to the 

 unanimous conclusion that the following were the most worthy of 

 the premiums otfered.

 fax," first premium; gold medal.

 cond premium; silver medal.

 ple," first premium; silver cup.
