The whole number of Colts, entered for premiums being 

 twenty-seven, as may well be supposed the labor of examin-

 For the second best ditto, to John W. Piper, of Ashby, 



the second premium, 3 00 



For the best two years old colt, to Newell Marble, of 



Ashburnham, the first premium of 4 00 



For the second best ditto, to Ohio Whitney, Jr., of 



Ashburnham, the second premium, 3 00
