ELEVENTH DIVISION — BOARS. 



Whole number of entries, 10. 



Best Berkshire Boar. O. Nelson, Egremont, $4 



Best Chester Boar, T. S. Baldwin. Egremont, 4 



Best Yorkshire Boar, John Winthrop, Stockbridge, 4 



Best Grade Boar, Elisha Collins, Great Barrington, 4 



There were 10 entries, and several fine animals that should have had a 

 premium, and we believe that Mr. Baldwin's, Mr. Chapin's Chester, Mr. 

 White's Berkshire, Mr. Dewey's grade boar pigs, and Mr. Turner's boar should 

 receive more than honorable mention by our Society. We therefore recom- 

 mend that in future more than one premium be offered for each breed of 

 Boars, and that separate premiums be offered for Boar Pigs. We were in some 

 doubt whether we ought to award a premium to Mr. Winthrop's Yorkshire 

 when we looked for hams ; we found about as much ham on him as might be 

 found on a Jersey Cow, or a Shanghai rooster, but what he lacked in ham he 

 made up in legs. When we looked at the other end, we found a snout well 

 turned up, as if in disgust at the vulgar corn that lay untouched and untested 

 before him ; but hoping that age would improve him, and remembering our 

 Society's tenderness and fondness for pedigree, ( his was all right ; imported 

 all the way across the water) we dared not refuse an award.
