REPORTS OP COMMITTEES. 



HORSES. 



The Committees of the several classes into which this depart- 

 ment is divided, have reported to me as follows : — 



Class A. — Roadsters. 



The Committee report nineteen entries for premiums. 



1,9^ Division, Stallions. — Only one entry was made, and that one 

 your Committee did not consider worthy of a premium. 



Id Division, Brood Mares. — There were eight brood mares with 

 foals at their side, on the ground, sent by Col. Henry S. Russell, of 

 "West Roxbury, from his celebrated stock, but were not at hand in 

 time to be entered on the books for premiums ; and for some cause 

 the man having them in charge did not take them out for exhibition 

 in the grand cavalcade formed on the track, much to the disap- 

 pointment of all concerned. Late in the day the Committee were 

 able to examine them, and were so well pleased with their appear- 

 ance, that they recommend and award the Society's Diploma, and 

 express the hope that Col. Russell will continue to favor the Society 

 at their annual exhibitions.
