REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON DIscRETIoNA-
AIRY PREMIUMS.
We have examined the articles exhibited as COM
ing under our duties
lst For the Teeswater breed Of cattle--the
Society had not fixed scale of premiums, and
our attention was called to very low and small
Bull, belonging to Mr. John ID. Gibson he was
bridled, saddled, mounted and rode by q small
black boy-we saw nothing to recommend him to
our favorable consideration for saddle purposes,
either for speed, agility, grace of motion or COM
fort to the rider and we presume he was not Of
fered on that account; we, therefore, consider
him as an applicant on account of his blood, and
we award to the rider, ST. He had no competitor.
To Charles L. Kendall, of Clarke county, for
his two mixed bred ewes the Society made no
provision for this class ofewesl 50.
To Col Hamtramck, for his Mexican black Po-
NY 50.
ST..
To Mrs. Benjamin comegys, for Linen Table
cloth, 81.
To Dust & Homer, of Ohio, for their Lightning
Rod no competitor, 81.
To John Avis, jr, for Boots and Shoes ST.
To james Cook, of Pennsylvania, for Water
Ram, no competitor, ST.
To David Howell, for lot Of Leather 50.
To Mrs. J. Henson. for superb Quilt, SIS.
We commend to the observation Of the Society
the beauty Of Mr.. Avis English Rabbits.
We were then conducted into the Ladies' de-
partment, and here we determined to guard our
selves against the influence (which we have always
found difficulty in resisting) of that perfect worl
OF the maker after ''his prentice hand he tried OF
man = We braced ourselves TO oestinocy of purpos
