the famous Bakwell breed, belonging to the Hon. Timothy 

 Pickering — and several others. 



They adjudged the premium for the best milch cow to Mr. 

 Jacob B. Winchester, of Salem — fifteen dollars ; 



And for the second best to Samuel Farrar, Esq. of Andover, 

 — ten dollars. 



For the best bull calf to Mr. Jonathan Berry, of Middleton, 

 •> — five dollars. 



For the second best to Samuel Farrar, Esq. of Andover, — 

 three dollars. 



For the best heifer calf, to Mr. Simon Smith, of Saugus — five 

 dollars. 



For the second, to Hon. Timothy Pickering— three dollars, 

 for his calf raised from native stock. 



It was particularly gratifying to see the large number of bull 

 and heifer calves, entered for premiums, evincing as it does the 

 interest already excited by this exhibition, and the spirit of im- 

 provement which is so happily extending throughout the county. 

 Should this spirit continue, it is not difficult to anticipate the pe- 

 riod not far distant, when the neat cattle of the county of Essex 

 will vie with any part of this country for beauty and worth.
