 and of ascertaining the relative merits of the different horses which 

 were entered for competition at the Fifteenth Fair of the American 

 Institute, beg leave respectfully to report: 



That after an earnest and impartial investigation of the claims of 

 the rival candidates, taking into consideration their general symme-

 their adaptation to the requirements of the community at large, they

 they would respectfully invite your attention to two entries of pecu-
