A pair of two-years-old by W. W. Benson, another 

 by N. B. Reed, were well worthy of a premium ; also a 

 pair of Durham steers by R. G. Chesmore, are worthy 

 of a favorable notice. 



The Committee would suggest to breeders of steers 

 the importance of keeping cows to breed from that are 

 near of size and color, well proportioned and hardy ; 

 also the importance of keeping steers well, and in a 

 thrifty condition the first year, to give them good form 

 and proportion.
