judgment and care. We believe that more depends on the team- 

 ster than on the team. 



There was a pair of 5 years old oxen, owned by George B. Lor- 

 ing, of Salem, entered for exhibition only, which were brought to 

 the notice of the committee. They were one-half Devon breed, 

 of very handsome deep-red color, well mated as to size and 

 color, and limbs of right proportion. It was the opinion of the 

 committee that they came almost as near by their appearance to 

 what a pair of working oxen should be, as could be wished. And 

 the thanks of the society are due to Mr. Loring for thus adding to 

 the interest of the occasion.
