HORSES. 



The following brief report on Horses is respectfully sub- 

 mitted : — 



The Society and public were highly gratified and pleased by 

 the kindness and liberality of Colonel H. S. Russell, of West 

 Roxbury, iu exhibiting his splendid stud of thoroughbred stal- 

 lions and brood mares, on the morning of the last day of the 

 fair. It is seldom an opportunity occurs whereby so many of a 

 celebrated blood stock can be seen at a county fair, and Colonel 

 Russell has reason to feel proud, in the possession of so many 

 valuable horses. First in order was his Robert Bonner, by 

 Rydyk's Hambletonian, (half brother to Dexter,) 8 years old, 

 and weighing 1,100 lbs. Beacon, 3 years old, by Volunteer, a 

 splendid bay. Sunshine, 1 year old, by Mambrino Prince, who 

 is half brother to Lady Thorne. Bonnie, a 2 year old filly, by 

 Mambrino Prince. Minnie, sorrel mare, 6 years old, by Rin- 

 gold ; colt 7 weeks old, by Draco. Fanny Prewitt, bay mare, 

 7 years old, by Ericsson ; colt 5 months old. Norfolk Belle, 

 bay mare, half sister to Lady Thorne, colt by imported Bonnie 

 Scotland. For the several horses and mares the Committee 

 would recommend the award of the Society's Diplomas, and 

 the thanks of the Society to Colonel Russell, for his generous 

 contribution.
