The Committee to whom was referred the inspection of 

 Town Teams, have attended to their duty, and would 

 respectfully report : 



Your Committee have had two Town Teams presented 

 to them, one from Fitchburg, and one from Sterling; and 

 after careful examination and thorough inspection, found 

 that both Teams were fine specimens of working oxen. 



Fitchburg presented twenty-two yoke of large, lusty 

 cattle, which are well worthy of high commendation, 

 and show that the farmers of Fitchburg well know how 

 to make money by having oxen that can do a day's work 

 in a day. 



Sterling presented to the Committee twenty-six yoke 

 of young, thrifty, working oxen. An honor to any farm'- 

 ing town is such a team. They looked like good farm- 

 ers* oxen, and showed that they did not plow the soil in 

 vain, but received their full share of the fruits thereof. 



Tour Committee would have been happy to have seen 

 more teams, for they think nothing speaks better for a 

 farming town than to be able to show a good lusty team 

 of working oxen, and hope in future that other towns 

 may come here with their teams.
