Stud horses — 



1. No award. 



2. Seymour Wilcox, of Lanesborough, . . $5 00 



Timothy Hall, of Pittsfield, exhibited a stud colt, four years 

 old, and R. R. Briggs, of Adams, one two years old, neither of 

 which, in the opinion of your committee, were deserving of 

 the premiums otfered. Mr. Hall's being very much under size, 

 and Mr. Briggs' too young to be considered a stud horse. 



All which is respectfully submitted, 



Edwin Bush, Chairman. 



Sheep. 



The committee on the third division of domestic animals 

 have attended to the duty assigned them, and would respect- 

 fully report, that there were an unusual large number of sheep 

 on the ground, there having been fifty entries in all — twenty- 

 five of which were entered as grade — eight fine wool, eleven 

 coarse wool, and six lots of fat wethers. 



The committee were disappointed in finding so few fine 

 woolled sheep on the ground, and would earnestly call upon 

 the wool growers of Berkshire to make the exhibition in this 

 department more respectable in future. Of their ability do so 

 the committee have not the least doubt. The committee would 

 also suggest to these same wool growers the propriety of mak- 

 ing themselves better acquainted with the relative qualities of 

 the different grades of wool before entering their sheep for pre- 

 miums. The coarsest buck on the ground and several lots of 

 coarse ewes were found entered as grade sheep. The commit- 

 tee award

 For the finest wool buck —
