132 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



Of three-year olds there was but four entries, all fine animals. 

 The one owned by Jacob W. Watson, was a very superior 

 animal. 



The three premiums on three-year old heifers were awarded 

 as follows : 



First premium to Jacob W. Watson, Princeton, . $7 00 



Second " to William Eaton, Worcester, . . 6 00 



Third " to William Eames, " . . 4 00 



In awarding the three premiums on two-year olds, the duty 

 was extremely difficult. We found twenty-four entries of this 

 class, all deserving of praise. Of those for which we had no 

 premiums, we noticed with admiration two half-blood Devon, 

 owned by Nathaniel Dodge, of Sutton, from the society's bull, 

 Roebuck, showing strongly the marks of that beautiful breed 

 of cattle ; one owned by John Brooks, Princeton ; one by Syl- 

 vanus Sears, of Worcester; one by Samuel A. Cushing, of 

 Shrewsbury ; all fine animals, and would do credit to any 

 stock. 



The three premiums on two-year old heifers were awarded 

 as follows : 



First premium to Gordon Woodward, Leicester, . $7 00 



Second " to Jacob W. Watson, Princeton, . 6 00 



Third " to William S. Lincoln, Worcester, . 4 00
