WORCESTER WEST SOCIETY. 221 



The first premium, of $4, was awarded to Clark Jamerson, 

 of Hardwick, for his gray horse, four years old. In awarding 

 this premium the committee regret that they had not more 

 premiums to award, as the horses of Messrs. David Bacon, of 

 Barre, and W. A. Warner, of Hardwick, possessed merits, al- 

 though various, yet very equally balanced. 



The committee award the premium of $3 to Moses Ruggles, 

 of Hardwick, for his superior three years old mare. 



Artemas Lee, Chairman. 



Mares and Colts. 



The committee on mares and colts have been called to the 

 examination of a display of mares and colts of superior quality, 

 some of which have many points of decided excellence. Of 

 those presented for competition, the committee award the first 

 premium, of ^6, to Harrison Bacon, of Barre, for the best 

 breeding mare, — his bay mare, eight years old, — English des- 

 cent, weighing 1,235 lbs. 



The second premium, of $4, for the next best, to Harrison Ba- 

 con, of Barre, for his gray mare, six years old, Morgan descent. 



For the best three years old colt, to Mr. A. Putnam, of Hold- 

 en, for his sorrel colt, sired by Abbott horse, the premium of $3; 



For the best two years old colt, to Dr. James Stone, of Phil- 

 lipston, for his bay colt, sired by Green-Mountain Morgan, |2. 



For the best yearling colt, to Harrison Bacon, of Barre, for 

 his Black Hawk, — sired by Black Hawk, of Bridport, Vt., — 

 from his bay mare, $2. 



For the best sucking colt, to Mr. James H. Ban, of New 

 Braintree, for his bay colt, sired by Trow horse, $2. 



The committee would only add their testimony to the judg- 

 ment of the entire body of spectators, that the display of ani- 

 mals was unusually fine, and would seem to demonstrate that 

 by close attention to the qualities of the parents, this section 

 of our county may become as distingushed for the successful 

 rearing of horses, as for the other departments of agriculture. 



Edwin Woods, Chairman.
