mother to this country. He proved himself as remarkable in his 

 progeny as that of his kind on his mother's side ; his sire was Beverly, 

 a thoroughbred Jersey, out of Flora by the ' First Prize Bull ' at the 

 Royal Agricultural Show in Jersey. Flora, the mother of Beverly, 

 was imported by Mr. Motley, and proved one of the most remarkable of 

 that celebrated stock, having made sixteen pounds of butter a week." 



Col. Stone says in conclusion : — 



" I have but little to add to this account, which I think is entirely 

 correct. You know the strong prejudice I hold in favor of this stock, 

 and you have seen some good specimens of the same. They hold 

 qualities which I consider very valuable in a dairy stock. They are 

 very gentle, I never having known a vicious animal, unless they were 

 too strongly crossed with the Jersey. When ' Jamestown ' was five 

 years old, a four year old boy could manage him in safety ; he was 

 worked in harness and perfectly handy. They are perfectly hardy, 

 good feeders, and hold out ia their milk remarkably, which I consider 

 the great recommendation. I know of several that give milk the year 

 round." 



Your Committee are glad to learn that Col. Stone is endeav- 

 oring to preserve and perpetuate in its purity as far as possible 

 this remarkable Jamestown stock. 



Your Committee award to Jeremiah W. Gay, of West
