To William Foster we award the second premium of $10. 

 His oxen are six years old and weigh 3,386 pounds. 



There were among the others some very handsome cattle, 

 but as we seem to have nothing appropriated for gratuities, 

 we are unable to award them anything. 



For Working Steers we award the first premium of $8, to 

 Ben : Parley Poore, of West Newbury. His steers are four 

 years old, weighing 2,450 pounds. 



There were three entries of steers, and but one competitor.

 their department have been about twenty, comprising some 

 very fine fowls, and a fair variety. It is to be borne in mind

 cannot be expected that we shall be able to make them all 

 rich with $10 and Harris' Insects. We have made such 

 awards as we deemed most meritorious. 



To Mrs. Jenny Jenkins, of Andover, for a coop of Muscovy 

 Ducks, a copy of " Harris' Insects." 



To Mr. John S. Ives, of Salem, 3 coops, containing Bremen 

 Geese, Shanghai Fowls, and English Hamburg Pheasants, the

To Mr. Robert Buxton, of South Danvers, for very fine 

 Brahma Pootra Fowls, $2. 



To William Rankin, Jr. of Danvers, for eight Brahma
