BULLS. 



The Committee on Bulls have attended to the duty assigned 

 them, and beg leave to submit the following report : — 



They award to A. B. Fellows, of Ipswich, for his Jersey 

 bull, the first premium of $10. 



To Moses Colman, of Byfield, for his Ayrshire bull, the 

 first premium of $10. 



To Ben. Perley Poore, of West Newbury, for his Short- 

 horn bull, the first premium of $10. 



To Asa T. Newhall, of Newburyport, for his Ayrshire, 

 the second premium of $5. 



The Committee regret that there was not another premium 

 at their disposal in this class for C. C. Adams, of Newbury^ 

 who exhibited a very fine young bull. 



'I'hey also recommend mileage to Wm. A. Russell, of North 

 Andover, for Dutch bull, Zuider Zee, and to D. F. Appleton, 

 of Ipswich, for his Kerry bull. Mr. Appleton has quite a 

 herd of this little hardy race of cattle, which are very well 

 spoken of in the vicinity where they are kept, and the Com- 

 mittee are of the opinion that they would do well in some lo- 

 calities where larger breeds would starve. 



There were a number of entries of grade bulls, with which 

 the Committee have nothing to do under the rules, but they 

 desire to say that the four years old bull entered by Paul T. 

 Winkley, and the two years old bull entered by David H. 

 Cook, of Newburyport, were both superior animals. 



The Jersey bull, Abraham, exhibited by Mr. Dane, of Ham- 

 ilton, we did not find on our book, but we find that he is on 

 every other book that is of importance to him or his posterity. 

 He is a noble specimen of his race. Mr. Dane is going pretty 

 largely into the Jersey family, aud we think he has displayed 

 excellent judgment in securing the services of Abraham as 

 the patriarch. 



Committee — J. Longfellow, Oliver Porter, W. B. Morgan, 

 A. W. Smith George Dane.
