AWARDS OF PREMIUMS. 
The committee are unanimous in the opinion that the Dur¬ 
ham Cattle on exhibition from Wisconsin, were much better 
than at any previous Fair. There were many animals in this 
class worthy of awards, and the limited number of premiums 
alone excluded them. 
The foreign cattle were inferior, as a general thing, to our 
Wisconsin stock, and, in the opinion of the committee, should 
not be allowed to draw very largely upon the funds of the So¬ 
ciety. Many of those labelled as full blood, were grades, and 
rather a low grade at that. 
The following “pedigree” of premium bull “Paris” has been 
furnished by Mr. Williams, the owner and exhibitor:

The committee on Thorough Bred Cattle and the Crosses, 
beg leave to say that they have been much pleased with the 
large number of exceedingly good cattle that have been sub¬ 
mitted to their examination, and are of the opinion, that the 
State of Wisconsin is beginning to realize the importance and 
advantage of breeding good stock. We are fast approaching 
the older States in these respects, and consequently in the 
character of our stock. 
The following premiums are recommended :
