The committee, after endeavoring to settle in their own 

 minds as well as they could do the claims of many competitors 

 for the few prizes offered by the society, are agreed in recom- 

 mending the following premiums — premising at the same time 

 that they are not sure but injustice has been done in some in- 

 stances, owing to the difficulty of deciding where the merits 

 are so nearly balanced. 



First premium, $5, to Eaton & Mills of Worcester, for seven 

 fowls of the Black Spanish breed. 



Second premium, $4, to Rzra Sawyer, of Sterling, for seven 

 White Shanghaies. 



Third premium, |3, to Horace Jewett, of Sterling, for Buff 

 Shanghaies. 



Fourth premium, ^2, to Frederick Eaton, of Worcester, for 

 six Black Spanish and four Shanghaies. 



Fifth premium, ^1, to Jonathan Rice, of Worcester, twelve 

 Shanghaies. 



Charles Jewett, of Millbury, exhibited thirty-two fowls, a 

 cross breed of the Buff and Black Shanghaies, decidedly the 

 best specimens offered. He would have been entitled to the 

 first premium if they had been entered according to the rules 

 of the society.
