Your Committee had great difficulty in deciding upon the 

 above awards, as colts were brought in competition with 

 each other that were bred for entirely different purposes, 

 and which should be judged by different standards. The 

 committee were obliged not only to judge what were the 

 best colts but what were the best kinds of colts, whether 

 trotters, roadsters or draft horses. In such competition 

 two classes must necessarily be neglected. There were 

 many colts that for draft purposes were undoubtedly supe- 

 rior to those to which the premiums were given.
