the apparent skilful attention to the growth and health of the 

 trees, as well as the perroction of their fruits. 



The arrangement and display of manufactured articles of 

 delicate fabric, presented by the ladies, together with the im- 

 plements of agriculture and various manufactured articles, 

 contributed essentially to promote the enjoyment and foster 

 the sentiments of social and virtuous emulation, so generally 

 attendant on the farmers' jubilee. 



The society was addressed in a very able manner by Hon. 

 Amasa Walker, after which an interesting address from Fran- 

 cis Brewer, Esq., delegate to the society from the State Board

Horses, Mares, and Colts. 



The committee on horses, mares, and colts, have awarded 

 the first premium, of $10, to Col. H. A. Longley, of Belcher- 

 town, for his stallion, bay Kentucky Hunter. The committee 

 are of the opinion that said horse is one of great merit, and is 

 fast becoming too well known in our community to require 

 any recommendation from the committee. 



The second premium, of $6, was awarded to Francis Twich- 

 ell, Jr., of Petersham, for his superior black stallion, a Morgan 

 horse, six years old. 



Mr. Orin Trow, of Hardwick, presented for exhibition be- 

 fore the committee, his very fine bay horse, with several supe- 

 rior specimens of his stock, which were highly creditable to a 

 sire well known in the vicinity for his excellence. 



There was a large and spirited exhibition of gelding horses, 

 and attended with a close competition for superiority of claims, 

 combining all the qualities of a superior horse, which existed 

 in each in a superior and rather high degree, yet with great 

 disparity.
