After the reports OF the several committees on the
animals exhibited and entered for premiums, had been
delivered to the President, the company were assem-
bed ON an emlncnce, and the successful candidates
called near TO the President to receive the most flat
ter,ing evidence of the merits Of their animals. The
delivery OF the premiums prefaced bv the follow
ing remarks, made by the President in behalf of sc-
VeFal OF the committees.
" GentIemen-The Committees have, in common
with their fellow members of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Society, been highly rafed in viewing the an
linais which have been eXhib tod to the public and
entered Tor our premiums, on the present occasion,
for IN humber they have fully equallcd and in excel
renee they have greatly surpassed sanguine
expectations:
IN several instances the committees have found it
diihcu TO decide between animals, which in every
important point nearly euualled each other thai
each OF them, would in their opinion have been enti
Ted to premium, ,l the funds of the Society were
adequate to the occasion.
But they proceeded in the performance of the duty
tnat mas been assigned them, placing a just reliance
upon the berality of those whose laulabe zeal has
led them 10 become competitors. The committees
aFe persuaded that the OF stock have been in
ruccd TO exlbIt them, from their desire to call
the public attention by comparison to the present state
otour domestic animals and point out the adyanta-
g"s and the means OF making important, necessary
and general improvements, than from the mere de-
sire OF obtaining the premiums. And since the chief
Objects OF all seem TO be assured by the spirit which
has been manifested on the present occas;on the
committees confidently hope that whatever uuplea-
sant feelings their decisions may create will be but
inomenaT1y INDUCED by those, who are at this time
unsuccessful competitors from the paucity oour
means, than from any deficiency in their animals"

obedience TO the will of the Society, and in aecor-
dance with the following Reports Of the several Com
