FAT CATTLE. 



The Committee appointed on Fat Cattle, report that there were 

 entered for premiums seven pairs of oxen and one odd ox, viz : 



1 pair by Joseph Newhall, of West Newbury. 



1 pair by Jedediah H. Barker, of North Andover. 



1 pair by James Day, of Haverhill. 



1 pair by Benjamin E. Emery, of Haverhill. 



1 pair by Thomas H. West, of Haverhill. 



1 pair by D. S. Caldwell, of Byfield. 



1 ox by J. Longfellow, of Byfield. 



1 pair by John M. Grosvenor, of Methuen. 



Some of tlie cattle, in the opinion of the Committee, if there 

 had been no others, would hardly come up to the requirements of 

 the Society for any premium for fat cattle, but taken collectively, 

 the animals were fully equal to those entered in former years. 

 There were some very good cattle exhibited. They award toBenj. 

 E. Emery, of Haverhill, the first premium, of $10.00, for his off 

 ox. 



To Joseph Newhall, of West Newbury, for his off ox, the second 

 premium, of $8.00. 



To James Day, of Haverhill, the third premium, of $5.00. 



They also recommend that mileage be allowed to Mr. Barker, of 

 North Andover, and to Messrs. Caldwell and Longfellow, of By- 

 field.
