The committees of the several classes of horses regret ex- 

 ceedingly that there is a seeming reluctance on the part of 

 owners of good stock in the county to contribute such as will 

 add to and materially aid these annual exhibitions. That there 

 ai-e many good horses raised and owned in the county there can 

 be no question ; and with the facilities now offered b}^ the 

 Society for the care and protection of animals, the smallness of 

 the premiums offered is the only reason presented to the com- 

 mittee for the small number of contributions. They would 

 therefore recommend thtit the premiums be increased, especially 

 on stallions, brood mares, and colts.
