The Committee would make mention of the following con- 

 tributors, and regret that no premiums were offered for their 

 classes, and would suggest that the Trustees take some action 

 on this matter : 



H. G. Herrick, of Lawrence, had on exhibition six remark- 

 ably fine hogs, nine months old, grade Essex. These animals 

 were too old to come under the head of weaned pigs, and no 

 premiums are ofiered for fat hogs. 



There were three pairs of pigs on exhibition : Charles Em- 

 merton, of Peabody, one pair Yorkshires, twenty-five weeks 

 old; M. G. Tenney, of Georgetown, one pair Berkshires, 

 eleven weeks old ; John L. Annable, of Topsfield, one pair 

 Essex, twenty weeks old. These were very fine specimens of 

 their respeptive breeds, and afibrded a fine opportunity to 

 judge of their distinctive merits. 



M. Birmingham, of Salem, showed four Yorkshire pigs, 

 six weeks old, weaned, that were worthy of a premium, but 

 the rules that governed this committee distinctly state that 

 the premium is ofi^ered for the best litter of weaned pigs, not 

 less than four in number, between two and four months old.
