BULLS. 



Ayrshire Bulls, two years old and upwards, — the Committee 

 award to J. D. W. French, of North Andover, for his Bull 

 " Andover," first premium, $12.00. 



George B. Bradley, of Methuen, second premium, $6.00. 



Ayrshire Bulls, under two years old — Doane Cogswell, of 

 Bradford, first premium, $6.00. 



Charles Perley, of Boxford, second premium, $4.00. 



For the best Bull of any breed, with five Calves of his 

 stock not less than one year old, the premium of $30.00 is 

 awarded to J. D. W. French, of North Andover, for his 

 Ayrshire Bull "Fitz James." 



Jersey Bulls, — Z. C. Wardwell, of Groveland, first premi- 

 um, $12.00. 



F. R. Appleton, of Ipswich, second premium, $6.00. 



Holstein Bulls, under two years old, — W. A. Russell, of 

 Lawrence, first premium, $6.00. 



W. A. Russell, of Lawrence, second premium, $4.00. 



A splendid Jersey Bull, of George W. Russell, of Law- 

 rence, was on exhibition, but as he was awarded the first 

 premium last year, he could not compete for the premium. 



William B. Carlton, of Haverhill, ofiered a Durham Bull, 

 three years old, a very handsome animal, and in the opinion 

 of your Committee worthy of the first premium of $12.00. 

 His pedigree, with the test of the Herd Book, is not perfect. 

 He is a descendant of the stock of Maj. Ben. Perley Poore, 

 of Indian Hill. The father of Major Poore introdutied pure 

 Durham cattle on his farm forty years ago ; and although 

 he has not kept his cattle registered, the Major has never al- 

 lowed anything but pure blood to be infused into it. His 

 stock is perfectly acclimated, is hardy, produces fine milkers 

 as to quantity and quality, and in the opinion of your Com- 

 mittee, is quite as likely to improve the stock as a Herd Book 

 animal is. But fearing to establish a precedent, we would 

 not award the premium without the sanction of the Society. 



Committee — Joseph Kittredge, S. E. Noyes, Nath'l. Gage.
