In addition to the above, H. W. Tilton, of Walpole, and 

 others, exhibited some very fine heifers under three years old, 

 but being in milk, the Committee thought they came under the 

 head of milch cows, and consequently did not attempt to decide 

 on their merits. 



It is quite gratifying to the Chairman to be able to say that 

 every member of the Committee was present and took part in 

 the examination of the stock offered for premium. 



For the Committee, 



ELIJAH TUCKER. 



-SHEEP. 



The Committee on Sheep would respectfully report, that 

 there were but seven sheep entered, all Southdown, raised 

 and entered by John McCracken of Wellesley, which, although 

 few in number, were all of superior quality. 



The Committee award to John McCracken, for his South- 

 down ram, the 1st premium of $5. For his lot of Southdown 

 sheep, being the largest and best lot, the 1st premium of $10. 



The Committee regret that of the many fine sheep in the 

 county, there were so few presented at the show, but they 

 cannot but express the hope that another year Mr. McCracken 

 may have many competitors. 



TRUMAN CLARK, Chairman.
