REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 



BLOOD STOCK. 



The Committee on Blood Stock have attended to 

 their duties and find the following entries : Two Dur 

 ham Bulls, three Ayrshire Bulls, two Alderney Bulls, 

 three Ayrshire Cows, and one Ayrshire Heifer. The show 

 of Blood Stock was not as good as last year, owing to 

 the absence of the herds from Millbury, and Framing- 

 ham. The Committee think that no permanent im* 

 provement will be made in our stock until the Society 

 cease giving premiums on grade Bulls. The only sure 

 way of improving our stock is by the use of thorough* 

 bred males, and we think if the grade Bulls are excluded 

 we shall soon have a better class of animals at our shows. 



The Committee on Blood Stock award the following 

 premiums :
