44 ON HORSES. 



After examination, and a hunt for Master Gould's 

 Berkshire sow, which was unsuccessful, the committee 

 unanimously agreed to recommend that the Society's 

 first premium, of five dollars, be awarded to William S. 

 Marland, of Andover, for the best breeding sow. Two 

 pigs, four months old, by her side, were of superior ex- 

 cellence, but were not enough in number to entitle them 

 to a premium. For the best litter of weaned pigs, they 

 recommend the first premium, of six dollars, to Bailey 

 Loring of Andover. 



The second premium, of three dollars, to Josiah Cros- 

 by, of Andover. 



Mr. Levi Davis's pigs were pretty for their age, but 

 being only four weeks old, are not entitled, by your 

 rules, to a premium. 



Your committee were honored also with power 



, to sit in judgment upon sheep. After all due search, 



they were able to find only a solitary lamb, and when 



found, it was thought enough to make mention of the 



fact. For the Committe, 



Andover, Sept. 28, 1842.

The Committe on Horses Report: 



That there were two entries; one by James Abbot, of 

 Andover, a sorrel colt, three years old last July. The 

 colt was well formed, but of a small size, and not con- 

 sidered one that will make a horse commanding high 

 price, unless her speed will add much to her value; not 

 being thoroughly broke, the committee had no means ot 

 judging as to that property. 



A mare and colt by Thomas Wellwork, of Andover. 

 The mare, of small size; the colt, four months old, over 

 middling size; said to be from the sorrel horse, Black 

 Hawk, which stands high as a horse of blood, speed and 

 bottom.
