were made, but all the animals entered were not shown to the com- 

 mittee. The committee unanimously award to Dr. Jos. Kittredge, 

 of North Andover, the first premium, of $10.00. 



There was some difference of opinion in the minds of the com- 

 mittee in regard to the award of the second and third premiums, 

 as may ever be expected until the different classes of animals shall 

 be submitted to different committees. The mare entered by John 

 N. Kent, of Newbury, was of good size and color, and appeared 

 adapted to all business. The one entered by Robert Farley, Jr., 

 of Ipswich, was of small size and bad color, but appeared to be a 

 very superior road animal, though not well adapted to other busi- 

 ness. Her color seemed*to have been transmitted to her foal, with 

 additional bad marks. After much deliberation they award to John 

 N. Kent the second premium, of $8.00, and to Robert Farley, Jr., 

 the third premium, of $6.00. Moses French, of Salisbury, enter- 

 ed a mare of good appearance, and furnished ample testimonials of 

 her superior qualities. The committee would have been pleased to 

 have awarded him a premium had there been another at their dis- 

 posal. They recommend him mileage.

HORSES FOR ALL WORK. 



The Committee on Horses of all work submit the following report : 

 There were fifteen horses entered for the Society's premiums. 

 After some discussion in regard to what should constitute a horse of 

 all work, your committee were of opinion that several of the iiorses 

 entered could not strictly be considered as belonging to that class. 

 The others should, in their opinion, rank as draught horses only. 

 In that capacity most of them performed exceedingly well, and your 

 committee regret that they were not empowered to award to them 

 premiums. 



Having witnessed with great care the performances of all the 

 horses committed to their charge, your committee recommend that 

 the first premium, of $10.00, be awarded to William F. Porter, of
