BERKSHIRE SOCIETY. 



the premiums are small, we trust the community will be satis- 

 fied with them, and come cheerfully forward and compete for 

 them. On the part of the competitors, the principal benefit is, 

 not the taking the prizes, even were they much larger than 

 those now offered. It is the bringing of the animals promi- 

 nently to the notice of thousands of persons to whom they 

 would otherwise never be known. This is an advantage dis- 

 tinct and truly independent of the awards of premiums. We 

 award as follows :

1. Robert Pomeroy, of Pittsfield, . . . $6 00
