The Committee on Neat Stock, Except

REPORT:
They found in the pens seven Bulls more

liam Eager, of Marlborough one by Jacob
Haskell, OF Harvard one by Seth Hastings, of
Mendon; one by Henry Spraguc, of Spencer :;
one by Jonathan Wheeler, of Grafton and
one BY Billings Hobart, of Leicester and, al
though the committe think they have seen a
I better exhibition of this kind of stock, vet they
are convinced that the show this year maintain
eu the character of the farmers of this county
The stock was all highly creditable to the own
ers OF 1t, and worthy of the attention of the
public three years old bull and two year
ilngs were offered by his Exccllency Gov Lin
COIN, Tor exhibition only. They were of his
improved stock, and afforded new proof of the
etlcient and well directed zeal of that gentle
man IN his agricultural pursuits
Inc committee have awarded the first pre-
:, MUM VI 10 ooIlars, to LoVett Peters, Esq. and
1ne second, OF 10 dollars, to Henry Sprague.
hey cannot close their remarks on this kind of
| STOCK without expressing their satisfaction in
seeing SO many good animals from different
ana remote parts of the county, and of differ
ent breeds, (mostly, however, crosses of the
snort Horns and Holderness) and also express
ing hope that the owners, who have obtained
no premium, will not be discouraged by the
success of their competitors.
Eleven Bull Calves were offered for premi-
uln by the following gentlemen DIR Hey
wood, Lewis Barnard, Nathaniel Stowell, Ben
Jamln Butnam and VIM. Goss AL of Worcester;
Benjamin Harrington and Jacob w. Watson,
bath of p-i--etvII William i1dgvT anu IIoIIo-
way Bailey, both of marlborough; and John
Wilder, jr. of Charlton. The committee think
the exhibition was remarkably good Indeed,
they do not recolect that 1t has ever been sur
passed The animals were, without exception,
such as to afford the highest promise of i'm
provement, and to entitle the owners to the
thanks of the Society.
We have awarded the first premium, of six
dollars, to Jacob w. Watson for his remarka-
bic calf, of months old, the second, of dol
lars, to Capt. B. Harrington, for his calf, 81
months old, scarcely inferior in any thing, to
that of Col Watson. Two fine calls were of
fered for>exhibition only, one by Gov. Lincoln,
and one by S. Salisbury, Esq.
Heifers offered for premium, and found only
three, of three years old, one owned by Benia-
min Harrington, and one by John Whitney,
both Of Princeton; and one by DIR. Chaplin, of
| Worcester, with a calf by her side. They
were all good animals but the two first were
superior and would have sustained severe
competition.
The first premium, of dollars, we have a.
warded to Benjamin Harrington, and the sec
II Al. IL Il.
Six Heifcrs, of two years old, were offered
for premium one by James Green, and one
by Alpheus Eaton, Jr. both of Worcester one
! by Henry Sprague, of Spencer; one by Ben
jamin Harrington, and one by Jacob W. Wat
son, both of Princeton; and one by Asa Rice,
! of Worcester. AS to this class of stock, the
| Committee would do injustice to the owners if
they did not represent it superior in all re-
spects twas all not only deserving of praise,
but of premium; but having only two premi-
ums to dispose of, they have awarded not with
out embarrassment, the first of six dollars, ia
Jacob w Watson, and the second, of five dol
lars, to Asa Rice Gov Lincoln had also in
the pens, for exhibition, stock of this class full
ly equal to the best offered for premium.
Six yearing lIefers were offered for premi-
um--four owned by Benjamin Harrington, and
ore by Jacob w. Watson, both of Princeton
and one by Royal T. Marble, of Sutton
/ There was also one offered for exhibition by
Gov. Lincoln. They were all beautiful ami.

We have awarded the first premium, of five
dollars, to Benjamin Harrington, for his piec
Heifer The second, of four dollars, to Roya
T. Marble, for his red Heifer.
Six Heifer Calves were offered for premium
two owned by Benjamin Harrington, and two
; by John Whitney, of Princeton one by iona
than Wheeler, of Grafton, and one by James
Lloyd Wellington, of Templeton. The Com
mittee would fail in their duty, if they did not
express to the Society the great satisfaction
they felt in this part Of the show, as it bore
marked evidence of improvement.
They have awarded the first premium, o.
five dollars, to Benjamin Harrington. The
second, of four dollars, to James l.. Yelling
ton. They were, however, greatly pleased
with the Calves of Mr.. Whitney, and Mr.
Wheeler. They were also much gratifeC
with the stately and beautiful appearance o.
two Calves offered for exhibition only, one by
Gov. Lincoln, and one by S. Salisbury, ESQ
The latter would probably have been success
full competitor for a premium.
Eleven pairs of Steers, three years old, were
presented for premium, by the following gen
tlemen Elisha Jacobs, of Millbury; Theoph
illus Wheeler, of Worcester; Henry Sprague
of Spencer; Freegrace Marble, of Sutton, two

as that of younger Steers, afforded the strong.

has acquired, for raising and diciplining work.
