The Committee take ple:'surein saying, that on

 cimens of stock than has been exhibited this day

 with prime fat oxen, excellent milch cows and beau- 

 tiful young stock. The committee regret that they 

 Inve not more preminms to award, finding so many 

 competitors whose merits and claims are so nearly 

 equal — but being under the necessity of cutting 

 our garments according to our cloth, we have cut 

 and distributed as fbllovrs-:

 faction of your committee. After much delibera- 

 tion, your comnuiteo have agreed on the following 

 r. wards : 



They award tho 1st premium of .*8 to .Abraham 

 Washburn, 2d. Work performed in 82 minutes. 

 The 2d do of $(5, to the town f>? Biidgewator, Silas

 any otlier. All of which is respectfully submitted.

.Irtides of the Dairy, 

 The number of competitors on butter and cheese 

 was about the same as on former occasions, and 

 the quality would not suffer in comparison with any 

 heretofore offered. In fact, they have seldom met 

 with so many excellent samples of the kind. It 

 was with some ditliculty that they could come to 

 the niee distinction, in some in ;tances, between 

 i the 1st and 2d premiums, and in this they may have 

 ' erred. But the excellent quality of the articles ex- 

 hibited, serves to show that with skill and perse- 

 verance, as good butter and cheese can be made in 

 the Old Colony as in any other section of the coun- 

 try. It gives the committee pleasure to commend
