The committee vvoiild have been more entirely satisfied if they had 

 been allowed a longer use of the track, that they might have had a 

 better opportunity of observing the action and judging of the merits 

 generally of the animals of this class. 



They would also have been gratified with the exclusive use of the 

 track for a short time after their awards had been made, for the pur- 

 pose of exhibiting to the public the preferred animals. 



S. E. SpractUe, Chairman. 



The judges on brood-mares, with foals at their side, made the 

 following 



REPORT: 



The committee awarded the first premium for mares, under 1,000 lbs., 

 to Joseph Burnett, Southborough ; the second, to O. Clark, Boston. 



Discretionary Premiums. — To J. Wise ; C. D. Nourse, Shrews- 

 bury, and J. H. Bent. 



For mares, over 1,000 lbs., entered as horses for general utility, 

 they award the first premium to Lambert Maynard, Bradford ; second, 

 to Samuel P. Smith, Holliston ; third, to J. B. Moore, Concord. 



Discretionary Premiums. — To N. Cutler, Medway ; John Dugan, 

 Somerville. 



In consequence of the advanced age of the foals belonging to Mr. 

 Nourse and Mr. Dugan, the committee did not hold that they could 

 compete for premium. The mare and foal belonging to Mr. Cutler, 

 arrived too late to compete for regular premium. 



A strong well-bred mare, with foal at her side, owned by A. D. 

 Weld, West Roxbury, was in the hands of a groom unaccustomed to 

 his duty, while the mare, evidently intent on maternal duty, refused 

 to be shown to advantage in any position in which her groom tried to 

 place her. 



For the committee, 



Eben Wight.
