The Committee on Sheep and Swine beg leave 

 to report, that upon visiting the pens they found 

 the exhibition of both Sheep and Swine, in their 

 opinion, not equal to that of previous years. On 

 Sheep the Committee do not feel authorised to

 kind exhibited for which a premium was offered 

 — but there was one lot of very fine Merino 

 Sheep, for which the Committee would recom- 

 mend a gratuity of $4.

 mium of ,f 6 be awarded to Any Shearman, of 

 Warwick, for the best Boar ; the second premium 

 of $4 be awarded to Joseph Healy, of Providence,

be awarded to David Field, of Scituate, for the 

 next best. S. Low,

 them, and award the following premiums :

But one brood Mare and Colt was exhibited, 

 and as no evidence of the breed of the iiorse that 

 sired the colt was given in, your Committee do not 

 feel themselves justified in awarding a premium, 

 but would recommend that a gratuity of $4 be 

 awarded to Mr Sheldon.

 Straw or Hay in a day.
