on the occasion of the 

 Ty/enty-Seventh Annivee^sary 



OF THE 



NORFOLK AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, 



THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, September 30th, and October 1st, 1875. 



Tlie '27th Annual Exhibition of the Norfolk Agricultural Society 

 was held at Readville, on Thursda}' and Frida}', September 30tb, 

 and October 1st, 1875. The vreather was very unfavorable during 

 both days, interfering very much with the convenience of contribu- 

 tors and visitors, and causing a serious falling off in the usual at- 

 tendance. This result was the more to be regretted as the display 

 in many of the Departments was unusually fine. The following 

 is a brief recapitulation of the leading features : 



Of Horses, the leading contributors were Col. Henry S. Russell, 

 President of the Society, William T. Cook of Foxboro', Francis B. 

 Ray of Franklin, and Wm. E. Coffin of Dorchester. 



Of Stock, the principal exhibitors were Henry L. Pierce of 

 Canton, the Lawrence Farm, by Henry M. Mack, Dorchester, and 

 Messrs. Henry Chaffin and Charles Faulkner of Brookline, H, E. 

 Bacon, Walpole, and Edward P. Burgees of Dedham. 



Swine were exhibited by the Messrs. Farrington, respectively of 

 Canton and Milton, National Sailors' Home, Quincy, H. W. Tilton, 

 Walpole and others. 



Of Poultry, contributions were made by M. I. Ellis, Norwood, 

 A. H. Drake, Stoughton, L. E. Gray and J. E. Sherman, Foxboro',
