admired for their graceful and agile luovenicnts. It is hoped that 

 Mr. D. will not forget to come in season next year. 



In the name of the Society I thank the several Committees on 

 Horses, the Judges of the several trials of speed, tlie Assistant- 

 Chairman, Henry S. Clarke, and Augustus P. Calder, Assistant- 

 Superintendent of Horses, for the faithful and efficient manner in 

 which they performed their duties. To them is due the credit of 

 the success that has attended tlie departments under their charge. 



WILLIAM R. MANN, Ge^ieral Chairman. 



Note. — I would recommend that the Society hereafter deal as liberally as 

 they can with the Committee on Horses. Their duties are laborious, and the 

 preparatory work takes largely of their time and means. They have thus far 

 cheerfully performed their work for no compensation or favor, paying tlieir 

 way the same as the inactive members, and performing the duties assigned 

 them for the interest they felt in the success of tlie Society. It may be well 

 to re<luce the Committee to twelve in number, three to each class, and give 

 each a larger field of operation.
