 ley Tapley, of Danvers, the second premium, of five dollars, for

 two years old steers ; and Jedediah H. Barker, of Andover, the 

 second premium, of four dollars. 



Your committee were much pleased with a pair of steers, of 

 the Durham short horned breed, offered by E. H. Derby, of 

 Salem. 



The committee were much pleased with a fine yoke of work- 

 ing oxen, exhibited by Moses Wilde, of Topsfield. As no pre-
