REPORT ON BULLS. 



The Committee on Bulls would respectfully ofier the following as 

 the result of their examination : — 



By the rules, the awards were confined to pure blood animals, 

 and they have not awarded any premium where a doubt existed, 

 as by so doing they would be vouching for the purity of the 

 animal. 



The first on the list was the Alderney and Jersey breed. There 

 were eight entries, and all of fine promise. Except in awarding 

 the first premium, the Committee were much embarrassed in their 

 decision, but finally decided unanimously as follows, on those over 

 one year old. 



Alderneys. 



To Jonathan French of Roxbury, the first premium of . $5.00 

 To J. S. Eldridge of Canton, the second premium of . 3.00 



Alderneys under one year old. 



To H. H. Hunnewell of Needham, the first premium of . 3.00 

 To William Bacon of Roxbury, the second premium of . 2.00 



There was but one entry made of Ayrshire Bulls. The Com- 

 mittee award 



To Nathan Phillips of Dedham, the first premium of . $5.00 



The Committee were not satisfied that there was a pure breed 

 Durham on exhibition.
