 mium of 6 00 

 There were also several other very J&iie fat cattle desejV' 

 ing particular notice, and had the Committee other 

 premiums at their disposal they would cheerfully have 

 awarded one to William F. Porter, of Bradford, for his 

 oxen, being very fine boned and well fatted animals.; and 

 also to J. W. Andrews, of Boxford, for his oxen, being a 

 fine pair, weighing 3715 lbs., and one of them an unusually 

 well fatted ox. 



There were three other pairs of oxenentered, viz : One by 

 J. Longfellow, of Byneld, weighing 3200 lbs., having 

 gained in weight 600 lbs. in the last twelve months ; one by 

 Orlando Abbot, of Andover, and one by Hiram Young, of 

 Newbury, and one young cow, by Otis Bailey, of Andover. 

 And the Committee would further say, that the exhibition of 

 fat cattle, in their opinion, was superior to any former 

 exhibition they have ever witnessed, and is very creditable 

 to the contributors, and also to the good old County of 

 Essex, and they would also recommend that mileage 

 be allowed to all contributors who did not receive 

 premiums, coming within the rules of the Society.
