The committee in their report remark: 
“In making decisions upon the relative merits of the horses presented 
for our inspection, we have awarded, in all cases, the first premium to 
the horse which possessed the greatest combination of speed, strength 
and action, believing that these qualities, when united with good anatomi¬ 
cal conformation and proper nervous energy, compose the perfect animal 
of that species. The horses designated by us as, in our opinion, entitled 
to the premiums as offered, we consider possessed of the above qualities 
in an eminent degree ; and while upon this subject we cannot refrain from 
expressing our very favorable opinion of Badger Boy, as a horse well 
worthy the attention of breeders of the road horse, as a native of our 
State and as a horse uniting beauty, strength and speed , superior to any¬ 
thing else presented for examination. 
“We would also commend to the attention of the Executive Committee, 
as worthy of a discretionary premium, the grey stallion Vermont Mor¬ 
gan, owned by T. J. Wood, Esq., of Baraboo, which was exhibited to us 
while in the discharge of our duties, although not for premium, to our 
regret. We consider him superior to any other stallion here except the 
Badger Boy, in all those requisites which, in our opinion, constitute a 
perfect horse. 
“Having performed a difficult and undesirable office conscientiously, 
and as we believe justjy and fairly, we close our labors by submitting 
the above.’'
