The Committee on two years old Heifers, not in milk, 

 consisted of Messrs. Wm. Bucminster of Framingham, Marshal 

 White of Westminster, Levi Kendall and Isaac B. Woodward 

 of Fitchburg, Emory Davidson of Sterling, Charles H. Wright 

 of Ashby, Isaac Hagar of Westminster. 



The Chairman being absent, the Committee proceeded to 

 their duties without him, and ask leave to submit the follow- 

 ing report. 



The number of animals entered for premium was nineteen. 

 Sixteen were in the pens and examined by your Committee, 

 and they would here state that they regret exceedingly the 

 small amount of premiums offered for such description of stock 

 as two years old Heifers intended to be kept for the dairy. 

 They were unanimous in recommending that more premiums 

 should be offered next year. 

 They award to Abel F. Adams, of Fitchburg, for his 



native Heifer, the first premium of 4 00 



To Silas Hale, Esq., of Royalston, for his Durham 



heifer, the second premium of 3 00 



To Henry Boyles, Esq., of Princeton, for his heifer, 



half Devon, half Native, the third premium of 2 00 



All of which is respectfully submitted, 



ISAAC B. WOODWARD, 



For the Committee.
