A large white yearling heifer with a *calf by her 

 side, owned by W. W. Watson, was thought by the 

 Committee worthy of "honorable mention," but they 

 could not award a premium for her, because no state- 

 ment of age, manner of rearing &c., was made, either 

 verbally or written, according to the rules of the 

 Society. 



Respectfully submited. 



C. C. FIELD, Chairman, 



J. P. REED'S STATEMENT.
