REPOirr ON HORSES. 



In behalf of our excellent and able Chairman, Major Axel 

 Dearborn, unavoidably absent in a distant part of the States, (but 

 who was mindful of us, and the interests of the day, by giving 

 valuable and material aid,) the following report is respectfully 

 submitted. 



We have many thanks to offer the Committee of Arrangements 

 for the efficient manner in which they met the necessary wants of 

 the Department on Horses, and hope that in part we were able to 

 fulfil the expectations of the Society. 



The following premiums were awarded : — 



CLASS A. 



Sfallions — " Danville Boy," breed " Morrill." 1st premium 

 of ^10, to S. \V. Stevens, of Jamaica Plain. This horse gives 

 promise of great speed, has many excellent properties, and does 

 credit to his sire. 



Society's diploma to C. H. Brown, of Fitchburg, for his 

 " Dandy " Black Hawk, entered for exhibition only — a horse of 

 splendid style and action. 



Pairs in Harness — Best pair of roadsters, 1st premium of ^10 

 to B. F. Brown, Dorchester, for his " Fancy-matched Morgans." 

 2d premium, $7, to Addison Boyden, for his black mares. 



Capt. Richard Holmes, of Roxbury, entered his fine span of 

 sorrels. Having taken the first premium at a previous Fair, and 

 the [Society's diploma, he retired, contented with all the honors. 



Horses in Harness — 1st premium, $8, to Richard Holmes, 

 Roxbury, for his sorrel horse, " Columbus." 



2d premium, $6, to Henry Jones, Stoughton, for his " Grey 

 Messinirer." 



3d premium, ^4, to Merrick Munroe, West Roxbury, for his 

 " Black Hawk " mare. 



4th premium, $2, to D. T. V. Huntoon, Canton, for his chest- 

 nut horse. 



B. F. Brown, Fitchburg, exhibited two fine horses ; J. D. 

 Thompson, West Roxbury, and J. H. Beegan, Brookline, entered 

 their three years old mares. No premiums having been offered 

 under this head, the Committee can only commend them for their 

 fine appearance.
