FRANKLIN SOCIETY. 73 



two premiums were offered by the Society. The number of 

 competitors was twelve. But although the number was large, 

 and although there were a few specimens of good breeding 

 mares, still the committee believe that in regard to a greater 

 part of them, neither the mare nor the stock was very superior. 

 They would therefore also invite greater attention to this class 

 of horses, within the limits of the Society. 



Eight colts three years old were shown, several of which 

 were beautiful animals, well built, a good movement, and give 

 promise of future efficient service. Indeed, your committee are 

 of opinion that the rising generation of horses, as shown here 

 to-day, bid very fair to eclipse their ancestors. 



Of colts two years old there were four entries, and two of 

 colts one year old. 



In behalf of the Committee, 



S. NASH.
