opinion that this pair were second, and therefore awarded to 

 Mr. Berry the second premium of $6. 



The other pair belonged to Henry H. Spofford of Grove- 

 land. These steers were worthy of notice, used to the yoke 

 and well matched, but as the Committee had no third pre- 

 mium to award, and by the rules of the Trustees, no gratuities 

 at our disposal was obliged to pass them by. 



Two year old four pairs. ,The best pair belong to S. & N. 

 Longfellow of Groveland. These were of Durham blood, 

 large of their age, although not so well used to the yoke as 

 some of the other steers, yet no one would doubt that they 

 were worthy of the first premium of $6. 



J. Ralph Farnum of North Andover, showed a very hand- 

 some pair of Herford steers, handy as oxen and well matched, 

 and we award to him the second premium of 85. 



The other two pair were owned by H. H. Spofford of Grove- 

 land, and B. W. Farnum of North Andover, both pairs being 

 handy; but the Committee were out of funds, and could 

 only hope that the boys who Iiad the care of them might 

 become good men and practical farmers. 



Yearling steers three pairs. The Committee award to 

 Thomas Saunders of Haverhill, the first premium of $5. 



Richard Bray of Newbury, entered the other two pairs and 

 we award the second premium of $4 to the said Bray for his 

 twin steers. 



We were sorry to say that there were no steer calves on the 

 ground, but would recommend that the Trustees hereafter offer 

 a second premium of $3 for steer calves.
