Arnold Burrows, Esq., of Upper Canada — two 

 thorough bred Short Horn Bulls — from the stock ol 

 J. H. PowKLL, Philadelphia. 



Many more animols were on the ground, excellent 

 of their kind, and whose owners were not noted 

 down, from the haste in which they were viewed; but 

 we can freely say that many of the animals exhibited, 

 were hardly to be surpassed, and some rarely to be 

 equalled, on this side the Atlantic. It is a source of 

 pride and gratification to us to know that the patriotic 

 and spirited farmers ot this and the immediately ad- 

 joining counties, can show stock like these, and we 

 trust that they will persevere in a course so ennobling 

 and advantageous to the agriculture of the state. 



Many owners of stock desired to sell; but owing to 

 the excessive pecuniary gloom of the times, only a 

 few came to buy; and if the sellers were disappointed 

 in their expectations, thty had the solid satisfaction 

 of knowing that they were still the owners of superior 

 animals, which, at a future time, will realize their fulj 

 anticipations. Instead, therelore, oi any cause of 

 dissatisfaction, every member of the society should 

 feel proud of his own success, and prepare, with in. 

 creased vigor and enterprize for the Genesee Cattle 

 Show of Eighteen Hundred and Forty-One.

REPORT ON HORSES. • 



The duty assigned to the committee on Horses, al- 

 though in some respects a difBculi one, was at the 

 same time one which afforded them much gratification. 

 The display of horses exhibited was such, both for 

 number and beauty, as no lover of this noble animal 

 could witness without feeling a high degree of 

 pleosure. The committee are confident that every 

 member of the Society — every farmer of Western New 

 York who saw this exhibition, must have been highly 

 gratified with the array of splendid horses brought 

 together on this occasion. 



Among so much beauty attd perfection, it may well 

 be supposed that it was quite difficult for the commit- 

 tee to decide which were the most beautiful and per- 

 fect ; but they decided according to the best of their 

 judgment, and awarded as follows: — 



For the best Stallion, to Oliver Culver of Brigh- 

 ton, $15 — " Young Henry." 



For the second best do., to John Atrault of Fer- 

 rinton, $10 — " Sir Isaac." 



For the best Brood Mare, to Oliver Culver, $10. 



For the second best Jo., to Alexanddr Kelset of 

 Rochester, $5. 



Among the boTses exhibited, besides the above, were 

 '' Young Turk," by C. D. Culver; " Tippecanoe" 

 by Peter Tone; " .Snmpsoa," by John Robinson; 

 " Atfrecf," by Thos. Weddle; " Young Lion," by 

 J. K. Balentine; " Young Alfred," by G. Collins; 

 and a number of others deserving of notice, but no re- 

 cord of which was preserved by the comraittce. 



Fine Mares were exhibited, besides those mentioned 

 above, by Henrt S. Potter, Jo!i.i Atrault, J. K. 

 Balentine, Josepk APA.'is, and by aeveral other pcr- 

 san«. 



The committee regret that no premium was ofl'ered 

 for matched work horses, although a good number of 

 fine young animals were exhibited, in order to show 

 thestock of the diflerent mares and stalions. 



In conclusion, the coiniriittee hope that none wil 

 feel dissatisfied with their decisions, but that all wil 

 loy aside selfish considerations, and rejoice in the pro- 

 motion of the common interests of the Society.

REPORT ON SWINE. 



The Swine exhibited on this memorable occasion, 

 were quite numerous, and their beauty and excellence 

 were matters of surprise to many who witnessed 

 them. The exhibition afforded good evidence that a 

 great work of improvement is going on in this depart- 

 ment of farm economy. 



After a careful examination, the committee decided 

 to award as follows : 



For the best Boar, to Col. Amos Sawter of Roch- 

 ester, $3 ; (Berkshire.)

 (Leicestershire.)

 large and fine Berkshire Boar ; Mr. C. Legcett of

REPORT ON SHEEP. 



The committee on Sheep respectfully ask leave to 

 report, that in consequence of the large number of 

 splendid Sheep exhibited, they found it difficult to de, 

 cide to whom to award the premiums ; and they la. 

 gret that their limits prevented their extending them 

 to several others who exhibited very beautiful Sheep. 



After a close and very particular examination, ths 

 committee were unanimous in awarding as follows! 



For the best Buck, for fleece and carcase, to Rich- 

 ard Randall of Chili, $10 ; (Southdown.) 



Best do. for carcass only, to John Betridge of Rign^ 

 $8; (Leicesterbhire.) 



Bes' do. for fleece only, to Charlm Merchant of 

 Greece, $8; (Saxony.) 



Best 3 Ewes, for fleeee and eareasB, to Georgb 

 Brooks of Brighton, $-8 ; (pure Southdown, imported 

 trom the Duke of Richmond's stock.) 



Best 3 Ewes, for carcass only, to Wm. C. Corneli. 

 of Henrietta, $'! ; (Leicestershire.) 



The committee would particulerly notice the Sheep 

 exhibited by Gen. Harmon of WhenJand, James 

 P.VRS0NS of Riga, and C. B. Meek of Canandaigua, 

 as being of very fine quality. Several other lotj ex- 

 hibited were deeerving of high praise.
