REPORTS OF COMMITTKKS. \,') 



There were four entries in the class of matched driving 

 horses, made by the following named gentlemen, viz : H. G. 

 Morse, George H. Manchester, Jos. W. Palmer of Fitchburg, 

 and J. F. Brown of Lunenburg. 



All appeared promptly at the call, except Mr. Brown, who 

 having exhibited in the immediately preceding class, necessarily 

 required some little time to arrange his double team. 



The horses were shown upon the track, making from one- 

 half to a full mile. By a rule of the Society, the committees 

 are not bound to award a premium for anything which they shall 

 deem inferior. 



Had your committee adhered to this rule, their judgment 

 would have been to award only the third and fourth premiums, 

 and one pair would not have been considered in any sense as 

 Matched Driving Horses — owing to their weight, movement and 

 action, but as unusual exertions were made to induce our people 

 to exhibit this year, in the hope of instilling new life and inter- 

 est in the society and its exhibitions, and ns the total amount of 

 the four premiums is only fifteen ( $15 ) dollars, your committee 

 feel that the non-observance of this rule will not be detrimental 

 to the interests of the society, they therefore make the following 

 awards : 



J. F. Brown, Lunenburg, ist premium, $6 00 



H. G. Morse, Fitchburg, 2d prem., 4 00 



Geo. H. Manchester, Fitchburg, 3d prem., 3 00 



Jos. W. Palmer, Fitchburg, 4th prem., 2 00 



PWMILV HORSES. 



It is to be regretted that out of the large number of horses 

 owned within the limits of this society, properly eligible in this 

 class, the large number of visitors to this exhibition should be 

 treated to so poor a show as to numbers as was the case here. 



Only four entries were found upon the books, and they 

 were responded to promptly at the call. 



These entries were made by the following named gentle- 

 men : Geo. E. Goodrich, Geo. R. Wallace, and H. F. Coggshall 

 of Fitchburg, and J. F. Brown of Lunenburg.
