In consideration of the attention paid
to the Society by Mr.. Powell, of Phila-
delphia, and the singular excellency of
the stock exhibited by him, particularly
of his two years old Heifer, with her
two Calves, the Committee recon-
mended that the Trustees present to
him premium plate for that animal.
The Committee noticed many other
fine animals, on whose owners it was
impossible TO bestow any pecuniary re-
ward, from the limited numbe. of pre-
miums. They also noticed the beauti-
full stock sent for exhibition merely, by
Ward Nicholas Boylston, Esq. Of Prince
ton. All these particulars will appear
in the Report of the Committee, which
will be published at length.
The Committee on Working Oren
consisted of Hon Oliver Fiske, OF Wor-
cester, Chairman; Maj. Daniel Tenney,
Of Sutton, Capt. Benjamin Harrington,
of Princeton, Mr.. Jacob Conant, of Ster-
ling, and Mr. John Adams, Cd, OF North
bridge. The Chairman of this Commit
tee had time only to make a very sum
mary report. He will prepare and pub
hsh one more in detail. In introducing
his report, he observed that much was
expected from this Exhibition, which
was: considered the pride of the County
but that more had been accomplished.
The Committee recommended the fol-
lowing premiums -
To Darius Putnam, of Sutton, the LIST
| premium, SIS 100
To Silas Dudley, of Sutton, the Cd do. 10: 90

10 stephen Howe, OF PeteTsham, foE
| the best Native Ewes, 600
| To Elisha Matthews, OF New-Brain-
| tree. for the best lot of Mixed Ewes, 100
| The Committee observed, that pre-
mium would have been given to the ex-
celent Native Ram of John Stratton, of
Phillipston, had it been regularly enter
ed. 1t appears since, that mere acct
dent, and not any negligence of the own,
er, prevented seasonable entry of this
animal and we have no doubt the Trus-
| tees, taking this into consideration, will
| adjudge the owner premium.
The Committee on Horses consisted
| Of Hon. Silas Holman, of Bolton, Chair
| man ;, COL Reuben Skies, of Worcester,
Simeon Draper, Esq. Of BrookGeld, Mr..
Nathan Watt. of Sterling, and Col. Otis
Farnum, of Charlton The Committee

next best, $500.
The Show Of Horses, though perhaps
upon the whole equal to that Of last
year., was still far from being good one.
! There was scarcely horse, of either
sex, which would have been thought
worthy of notice in the southern and
middle States. Ii is astonishing that the
