REPORTS OF JUDGES. 



Report of the Committee on Horses, Jacks, Sfc. 



The undersigned, a committee on horses, mules and asses, report 

 to th'i American Institute the result of their investigation. 



They would, in the first place, remark that the number of animals 

 "were limited; some of them of much excellence, and others below 

 mediocrity, especially the stallions. The committee therefore com- 

 mence with the mares, viz : 



No. 6. " Polly Hopkins," owned by Robert L. Stevens, Esq., of 

 Hoboken, N. J., a thorough bred race mare, by " Virginian;" dam by 

 imported " Archduke." This animal is of great beauty, of fine size, 

 and has most of the requisites necessary in the horse. She has been 

 noted in this country as a great racer, and in England as a brood 

 mare; to which country she was sent by her owner for the purpose 

 of breeding from the best stock in that country, and brought back 

 with her produce to this city. This circumstance is noticed as show- 

 ing that we have in this country, persons of spirit and judgment, who 

 will forego expense to the end of adding to the general benefit, among 

 whom, the above factproves Mr. Stevens to be one. By the side of 

 Polly Hopkins was a fine horse colt by " Trustee." The committee 

 recommend the first premium. 



No. 4. " Gulnare," owned by Mr. John H. Coster, of Westchester, 

 N. Y., a thorough bred mare, by " Duroc," out of Sport's mistress. 

 This mare is of large size, good form and has proved to be a good 

 breeder; is now in foal. The committee recommend the second 

 premium. 



No. 1. Betsey Wilson, owned by Henry Watson, Esq., of East 

 Windsor, Conn.; a noted race mare, bred by Gen. Emory of Mary- 

 land. The dam of the noted race mare, '' Lady Clifden." Betsey 

 Wilson was by " Ratray," and dam by Ogle's " Oscar." This mare 

 was a capital racer, and last year won the gold medal of the Institute. 

 From her blood and form, the committee consider this mare as a valua- 

 ble acquisition in a breeding stud. She is in foal by " Jim Crow," 

 a full blooded horse, owned by Mr. Watson. The committee 

 recommend a diploma. 



No. 7. "Indiana," owned by Doct. John A. Pool of New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J.; a running mare, bred in Virginia by " Sir Archy," dam 

 by "Constitution." This animal is of pure blood, and a fine one, 

 and has hitherto taken a medal of the Institute. An award of a di- 

 ploma is recommended.
