STALLIONS. 37 



2cl. Best Stallion for general use, five years old and upwards, one 

 premium — $10. 



3d. Best Stallion, three or four years old, speed considered, two 

 premiums — S15, and $10. 



In tiie first class there was but one entry, and as the rules of the 

 Society provide that in all cases where speed is considered, (without 

 qualifications,) there must be at least three entries; therefore, no pre- 

 mium could be awarded in this class, but your Committee recommend 

 that a gratuity of $10 be paid to Wm. M. Mandell of BaiTe, for the 

 Stallion '' Brown Dick." 



In the second class there were two entries. One premium only be- 

 ing offered, it was unanimously awarded to Messrs. Jones & Perkins 

 for their Stallion '' Abdallah." 



It is proper to remark that the other Stallion offered in this class, 

 exhibited none of his stock in accordance with the conditions of the 

 offer for premiums. 



In the third class there was but one entry — three being required, 

 no premium could be awarded. We recommend that a gratuity of 

 $5 be paid to Mr. Kansom Rich of Fitchburg, for his " Hiram Drew" 

 colt. 



Your Committee believe that the present classification of Stallions 

 can be improved upon, and they respectfully invite the attention of the 

 Trustees of the Society and those immediately interested, to its consid- 

 eration.
