SEVENTEENTH DIVISION. 



Entries — Single trotting horses, 5; matched trotting horses, 4; walking 

 horses, 5. 



The single horses made good time, and were mostly fine animals. Wm. 

 Mallory of Lee, was ruled out after winning one heat, as it was proved 

 that his horse had trotted for money. Mr. Mallory claimed that it was for 

 a premium' paid in cash, but on consulting the executive committee, we 

 were told that a similar case was acted upon last year when it was decided 

 that a horse, having previously trotted for money, either as a purse or 

 premium, could not take a premium in this division. We would advise 

 the executive committee to give more definite instructions, in future, to 

 the committee in this division. 



The double teams did not merit much praise. Here we would recom- 

 mend, that no entry be allowed after the advertised time for making them. 



The walking horses performed their part quite creditably. The first 

 horse home was given the fourth premium, as he was urged beyond a walk. 



We award the following premiums : 



Best single trotting horse's, G. C. Cutting of Lee, 10 00 



2d do., P. A. Russell of Great Barrington, 7 00 



Best matched trotting horses, L.E. Rogers of West Stockbridge, 12 00
