There were others present, among which they will note 

 the following : Three cows, entered by Cyrus Goodrich, of 

 Leominster; one by John R. Learnard, of Westminster ; 

 one by Geo. M. Gregory^ of Princeton ; one by Benj. Snow, 

 Jr.; one by M. Upton, and one by Abram S. Dole, of Fitch- 

 burg. There were, also, several very fine heifers. One by 

 Gardner Merriam, of Leominster ; one by Ivers Phillips, 

 and one by W. C. Upton, of Fitchburg, all of which were 

 an honor to the occasion, and to their owners, and had it 

 been in our power to have awarded them all a gratuity h 

 would have been done cheerfully. But your Committee 

 believe that the mere premium ofiered is not, in many cases, 

 the object most sought for by the competitor; but the higher 

 and nobler purpose of improving the various products of ihe 

 farm. And many of them have on this occasion added to 

 their already high and well-earned reputation for agricullul- 

 tural improvements.
