they have performed their duty as thoroughly as the very limit¬ 
ed time allowed them would permit. Judging from the curso¬ 
ry examination they were able to make, they wish it understood 
that they do not pretend to decide upon the relative merits of 
the different horses. They saw many good [ones, and below 
make mention of such as they deemed worthy of notice. They 
mention them in the order in which the memorandum was kept, 
with no intention of making place or priority of notice an evi¬ 
dence of the estimation in which they were held by .the Com¬ 
mittee. 
Black-Hawks. —The Committee in this class mention favor¬ 
ably Mr. L. W. Cutler’s Black Weasel, as a well-built, fast 
Stallion. His qualities as a Stock Horse are better known to 
people hereabout than to the Committee. 
E. A. Smith’s Henry Clay, is a handsomely built, fine 
stepping Stallion, four years old, and is undoubtedly one of the 
best Black-Hawks of his age in the State. 
Little Thunder, owned by J. McKenzie, is a fine five year 
old Black-Hawk Stallion, has fine action, is well-built, and is 
already ranked among the “fast nags.” 
Black Fox, owned by F. H. Hoyt, and raised by A. Pike, is 
a small three year old Black-Hawk, but is very handsomely 
built and has good action. 
Addison, owned by W. P. Benson, three years old, good size, 
steps well, shows signs of making a fast horse, and is a showy, 
handsome Stallion, very good for his age. 
Thomas Lake has a fine two year old Stallion, a good colt, 
and fair size. Also a yearling colt—which for fine points would 
be hard to beat. The two were sired by Hall’s Black-ITawk. 
Geo. Milford, of Koshkonong, has a very fine two year old 
Black-Hawk colt, good size, well got up. 
Fox-Hunters. —Fox-Hunter, owned by Thayer & Jaycox, 
is good sized, of good color, handsomely built, gets up well, 
and has more than ordinary speed. He may be put down as a 
first rate horse, one of the best.
