14 ■ REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 



E. Goodrich and Geo. Jewett of Fitchburg, G. P. Hawkins and 

 M. S. Heath of Lunenburg ; all of which appeared at the Judge's 

 stand on the track, at the call of the bell, except A. O. Hitch- 

 cock's. 



While your committee do not wish to be understood that 

 they considered these six horses, as gentlemen's driving horses, 

 superior to scores of others within the limits of this society, 

 still thsy believe that they are legitiinitely and properly entered 

 in the class of gentlemen's driving horses. 



There is a distinction to be made, (in the minds of 3^0 ur 

 committee, at least, ) between a gentleman's and a family driv- 

 ing horses. 



This distinction is made in the offer for premiums by the 

 society, in as much as speed is to be considered in the one case, 

 while it is not mentioned in the other, and is patent to all horse- 

 men of much experience. 



The horses were started from the Judge's stand, and each 

 made his mile by going twice around the track, all showing fair 

 speed, and for the most part adhering to a steady gait and trot. 



No time was taken, hence none can be reported. 



After examination and comparison of notes, the committee 

 unanimously award the premiums as follows : 



Rodney Wallace, ist premium, $6 00 



Geo. E. Goodrich, 2d prem., 4 00 



H. G. Morse, 3d prem., 3 00 



G. P. Hawkins, 4th prem., 2 00 



All of which is respectfully submitted by the Committee. 



Eugene T. Miles, Chairman. 



MATCHED DRIVING AND FAMILY HORSES— SINGLE. 



When the call was made for horses in these two classes, 

 none of the committee originally appointed by the trustees were 

 upon the grounds ( one of the number, Mr. L. N. Smith of 

 Baldwinville, 'having deceased since his appointment), and the 

 Marshal in charge selected the following named gentlemen to 

 act as committee, viz : Eugene T. Miles, Rodney Wallace and 

 J. H. Lockey, and they beg leave to report :
