ON WORKING CATTLE. 37 



One pair of yearling steers, twins, by Jacob Farn- 

 ham, of Andover. 



One pair of steer calves, 5 months old, by Thomas 

 E. Pay son, of Rowley; and two pair by Samuel F. 

 Barker, of Andover. 



The committee consider the three year old steers of 

 a superior quality, as to size, training, and also as to 

 being well matched. 



The two years old steers were not considered supe- 

 rior as to size or appearance. 



The yearling steers were of common size, and so well 

 trained, that a small boy could drive them in the yoke, 

 in any direction, at pleasure, among the crowd of spec- 

 tators. 



The steer calves of Mr. Payson, were from Dur- 

 ham stock ; one of them is considered a superior 

 calf. 



The four calves of Mr. Barker, of Andover, were of 

 fair quality. It was not ascertained of what stock. 



After a good deal of hesitation and repeated exami- 

 nation, the committee have agreed to award the first 

 premium, of seven dollars, to Allen W. Dodge, of Ham- 

 ilton, for his three year old steers. 



To Joseph Kittredge, of Andover, the second premi- 

 um, of five dollars, for his three years old steers. 



The second premium, of four dollars, to Charles Fos- 

 ter, of Andover, for his two years old steers. 



The first premium, of four dollars, to Jacob Farnham, 

 of Andover, for his yearling steers. 



They also recommend a gratuity of two 'dollars to 

 Ralph H. Chandler, of Andover, for his three years old 

 steers. 



Also, to Thomas E. Payson, of Rowley, a gratuity of 

 two dollars for his calf. 



Also, a gratuity of two dollars to Samuel F. Barker, 

 of Andover, for his four calves. 



For the Committee, 



MOSES NEWELL. 

 Andover, Sept. 28, 1842.
