S3 



The second premium of $3 was awarded to the red Roan 

 colt of Mr. Farnham SpofFord, of North Andover. 



The Committee take the liberty to suggest to those present- 

 ing Colts, the propriety of stating as clearly and as accurately 

 as possible, as of just as much consequence, the pedigree 

 (when it can be obtained) on the dam's side as on the sire's, 

 and to have these pedigrees always ready for the examination 

 of the Committee. They would also advise the selecting of 

 suitable men, who are accustomed to the handling of colts, to 

 show them ; or would recommend the presence of the owners 

 themselves, that the stock may appear to the best advantage. 



It may also be well to add here that a colt showing marks 

 of unsoundness has no chance for premiums from a committee 

 which should always be selected for its ability to judge of 

 such matters, and that lame colts, with spavins partially 

 grown, can have no favors ; and it is earnestly urged, as far 

 the more profitable, and most assuredly the most satisfactory 

 course, the breeding from nothing but stock of pure pedigree 

 as only worth raising at all.
