The committee, in closing this report, would respectfully 

 suggest to the society the propriety of making better arrange- 

 ments for the future exhibition of sheep. The very promiscu- 

 ous manner in which the different grades of sheep are mixed 

 up with swine, breeding mares and colts, &c., &c., makes it 

 extremely difficult for a committee to decide upon the relative 

 merit of the competitors. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Henry C. Squier, Chairman.
