BULLS. 



The Committee on Bulls would respectively report : — 



The number of entries was large, and the animals were, 

 generally, of a superior quality. The variety was very 

 noticeable — Dutch, Shorthorn, Ayrshire, Jersey, and Na- 

 tives of various shapes and sizes constituting the number. 

 Your Committee would suggest that there must be an un- 

 usual diversity of soil in any limited section of the country, 

 which would allow so many different types and breeds to be 

 fed to a profit; They would also suggest that this is almost 

 the only Society in the country which now ofiiers premiums 

 for grade bulls. 



The Committee award the following premiums : 



To Charles P. Mighill, of Rowley, Jersey Bull, first pre- 

 mium^ $8. 



William A. Russell, of North Andover, Dutch Bull, first 

 premium, $8. 



John Day, Jr., of Boxford, Shorthorn Bull, second premi- 

 um, $5.
