derncy. All these animals were possessed of good points and 

 highly promising character. But, by the rules of the Society, 

 Averc not competitors for any premium. To encourage the exhi- 

 bition of such animals, we award to each of their owners — to 

 Messrs. Dexter, Kingsbury and Leeds, the diploma of the Society. 



Lyman Kinsley, Esq., of Canton, exhibited an Alderney bull, 

 which is of the highest character, in all respects. We can now 

 only mention this animal with favor, having before awarded to him 

 the highest premium of the Society. To Mr. Kinsley we return 

 our acknowledgments for the considerate regard which he has 

 manifested for the interests of our Society. 



John P. Jones, Esq., of Medway, exhibited a bull, twenty 

 months old, — the offspring of the Society's Ayrshire cow by a 

 Devon bull. We consider this animal one of the most promising 

 character, and award to Mr. Jones a gratuity of $3.00. 



C. Loring Cunningham, Esq., of Milton, exhibited a bull calf — 

 the offspring of a fine native cow, by an Alderney bull from the 

 celebrated stock of the late Hon. Daniel Webster. We consider 

 this animal worthy of particular mention and favor.
