BREAD, BUTTER, CHEESE, PICKLES. 35 



DURIIAMS. 



Entered, by Augustus Whitman, E.^q., of Fitcbburg, " Wachusett 

 Chief," a very fine ammal. Also, " Hope 7th." 



AYRSIIIRES. 



Entered by Eugene T. Miles, Esq., of Fitchburg, " Roderick Dhu," 

 not surpassed, in the opinion of the Committee, by any animal of his 

 class in the Show, and " Beauty." These animals all received the high- 

 est premiums in their respective classes at the Fair in 1867, and are 

 therefore debarred from competing in future for any premium in the 

 gift of the Society. They are not debarred from leaving traces of their 

 superior excellence in the young stock presented for our examination 

 at the present Show. May the Soqiety long have the advantages of 

 their good qualities. 



HOLDERNESS. 



Entered by Jos. P. Reed, Esq., of Princeton, one Cow, one Bull, 

 one Yearling Heifer and one Bull Calf. These animals are repre- 

 sented by Mr. Reed as thorough-bred Holderness stock. The cow is 

 the mother of the three, and the bull the father of the youngest two. 



Accompanying his report is the -statement of Mr. Reed answering 

 some questions in the report of the Committee on Blood Stock for 

 1867; also, giving the pedigree of his own stock. 



We are not acquainted with the merits of this stock, but if the spec- 

 imens which Mr. Reed has presented at this and at our former Shows, 

 are fair, and if their 3IiJk and Batter qualities compare at all with their 

 good appearance and their aptness to take on flesh, we think it must be 

 very de-sirable stock to own and a breed destined to be extensively 

 spread. 



Respectfully submitted. 



SOLON CARTER, for the Committee. 



BREAD, BUTTER, CHEESE, PICKLES, &C. 



Facts have come to my observation since the late annual Fair of 

 your Society, that prompt me to make to the Trustees what is called in 

 their circular, an "elaborate or further report" of the Committee on 

 Bread, Butter, Cheese, &c. Justice to myself as chairman of said 

 Committee, not less than to many contributors of articles to said FaiTj 

 seems to demand that somethinpj more be said.
