'2S DRAUGHT HORSES. .. 



We also re3o:ii nani a gratuity of $2.00 to ba paid to Dr. Brighaoi 

 of Fitchburg. 



, The few entries .and the quality of both: Mares aad Oolts, showed at 



pacQ that but little- iaterest was maaifcsted in ttie Society; to make that 



improvein3Qt ia raising Horses which that noble animal deserves, and 



it was evident to your Comaaittee. that there, was some cause ior it, and 



^e are of opinion that there is, first, too small a premium offered by 



:tbte Society to induce any one living at: any distance from Fitchburg, 



'tafee at the trouble of taking a good Mare or Colt to tlie Exhibition. 



OFor the best Colt only the paltry sum of $4.00 k offered, which is only 



'One^half as much as you offer for a Fat Hog, and the same as you 



offer for a Boar more than one year old, and the same as you offer for 



;a Heifer Calf four months old. For a Foot Race one-half a mile, you 



'offer $5.00. Let us see what is for the best interest of the Society, a 



fine Colt that when three or four years old would command from $200 



$500 in the market, or a half-mile race of some half naked boy, or a 



Hog which is worth as much money the day he is exhibited as- he ever 



will be, and still you offer for him, $8.00, and only S4.00 for the 



best Colt. Keep the Horses from your Exhibition, and a very small 



ground will accommodate all that will be likely to attend, in a very 



short time. Your Committee are all friends to that noble and almost 



indispensable animal, the Horse, and will do what they can, in their 



feeble manner, to bring him up to the standard he ought to have in the 



Worcester North Agricultural Society. 



-All of which is most respectfully submitted by 



Your Committee, 



WARREN SIMONDS. Chairman.
