We will make another calculation upon a mare worth 

 $50: 



Interest, $3 ; keeping while not at work, $25 ; - $28 

 Risk, $3 ; loss from age, $6; service of horse, $6; 15 



Keeping colt four years, ----- 75 



Cost of colt, $118 



Can any reasonable man suppose the colt will be worth 

 more than he cost? 



To those gentlemen who exhibited roadsters at the fair, 

 your Committee have to say that everything in life may 

 be compared to a race, and in whatever race they may be 

 engaged, may they have a good roadster to the end of 

 their journey, may their vehicles never clash on the road, 

 and may they all pass the judges' stand without dishonor. 



E. T. WOOD, Chairman. 



EQUESTRIANISM. 



We are glad that the Hampshire Agricultural Society 

 have resolved to encourage a taste for equestrianism, and 

 the only drawback to our satisfaction is that so few com- 

 petitors entered for the liberal premiums offered by the 

 Committee. 



Miss Huntington of Hadley, and Miss Wood of North- 

 ampton, were the only ladies who presented themselves ; 

 and they charmed the eyes of all with their exhibition of 

 equitation. Miss Huntington we must regard as quite 

 accomplished in the art of equestrianism; she managed 

 her horse finely, sitting in the saddle with much ease, and 

 rode boldly and handsomely. She guided her horse with 

 unusual nerve, while passing around the track at full 

 speed. Miss Wood rode well ; and although her horse 

 was inferior, she guided him admirably, and appeared to 

 great advantage as she glided gracefully round the track.
