The horses for the field and road were 

 this year more than usually good, indicatina- 

 judicious and careful breeding. The com- 

 mittee deems it due to those gentlemen who 

 exhibited the horses of this class, to state 

 that in their opinion all are deserving^ of 

 public patronage. The duty devolved on 

 them of making a selection, and where the 

 merits of the several animals were so nearly 

 equal, this required a very cautious e.\(?rcise 

 of jud^:ment. Tliey include in these remarks 

 the two horses Trafalgar and Black Prince, 

 that from coming to the ground too late, 

 were, by the regulations of the Society, ex- 

 cluded from competing for the premiutns, as 

 well as Mr. Eyre's fine thorough bred stal-I 

 lion, Mingo Junior, who was also ineligible,! 

 from having already taken the first premium 

 at a former exhibition of the Society.

The committee noticed a beautiful Scotch 

 Mountain cow% exhibited by Mr. Samuel 

 Rogers, of Blockley, and also one by Joseph 

 Kirkner, both pretty animals, displaying good 

 milking properties. A Kerry cow was shown 

 by Mr. J. S. Huber, showing prime points 

 and good properties. Mr. H. also had seve- 

 ral other good animals on the ground. 



Many other fine cattle were exhibited 

 that were worthy of premiums, and the 

 committee regret that tiiey had not more to 

 bestow. Many of the spirited farmers of 

 the adjoining counties of Delaware, Ches- 

 ter, and Montgomery, have displayed a most 

 praiseworthy evidence of their determination 

 to continue the improvement of their .stock.
