208 COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. 
fine animal, which, for style and fine action, excited universal 
admiration. 
The matched horses exhibited nothing remarkable, and could 
not be ranked among the best specimens of this noble animal. 
There were several suckling colts, of the Black Hawk family 
of horses, that would have been entitled to premiums but for 
the inferiority of their dams ; the premiums offered being for 
mare and colt. 
The Committee called the attention of the Society to a pair 
of matched two year old geldings, of the Morgan breed, exhib¬ 
ited by C. C. Rumsey, of Washington County, their perfec¬ 
tion of form, fine style, and good size were very remarkable for 
colts of that age. 
CATTLE—DURHAM AND DEVONS. 
The herd of cattle exhibited by Mr. J. P. Rowe, of Muskego, 
consisting of eighteen head of Durhams and grades, excited 
unusual admiration, and the Committee suggest the propriety 
of encouraging stock raisers to exhibit in this way. The ex¬ 
hibition of blooded cattle was not large, but the most of it was 
remarkably good, and was a great improvement over former ex¬ 
hibitions ; the Committee would particularly call the attention 
of the Society, to a Devon bull, exhibited by E. M. Danforth, 
of Summit, three years old; and also to a yearling bull, exhib¬ 
ited by Judge Field, of Mukwonago, both very fine animals. 
GRADES—WORKING OXEN AND MILCH COWS. 
There were several animals of this class, which the Judges 
deemed worthy of premiums, for which no premiums were 
offered by the Society. Also, there were several animals 
wrongly entered; for instance, a yoke of oxen, entered by Mr. 
Robinson, of Summit, as five years old, which, in the opinion 
of the Judges, were only four years old, and had they been 
entered as such, would have received the first premium. There 
was not so much competition in this class as there should have 
been, although the exhibition was a very great improvement 
upon former years.
