imals in this class, Of good average quality.
The premiums, awarded to cattle Of this de-
scription we consider altogether too high,
and would suggest reduction of at least
one half the amount in future lists. AS it
now stands, "piney woods" cattle of COM
mon quality, are placed upon the same foot
ing with pure bred Devons, Durhams, &C.,
and should there be no competition, the
highest premium, $780, will be more than
the actual value of the animal. We do not
say this was the case at the late Fair, as the
grade COW Of Mr.. Jordan was an unusually
fine specimen; but that such injudicious pre-
miums as are offered in THIS class are likely
to be undeservedly awarded, does not, we
think, admit of the least doubt.
Working Oren.-A very fine yoke was
presented by William T., Lightfoot, of Ma
con, Ca, and there beiA no competition
worth speaking of, as matter of course, he
received the premium
Horses of all W0rk.-The stallion, "Sal-
adm" of William A. Lenoir, of Tennessee,
deservedly took the premium as the best
horse in this class; though he would have
been still more appropriately entered as a
Heavy Draft horse. "Saldain" is horse
of large size, fine symmetry, good bone, and
powerful action, and has produced some very
excellent stock, Of which there were several
samples on exhibition. The fine thorough
bred stallion, "Steele," Is years old, was al
so upon the ground; and the only evidence
of age which he betrayed to an ordinary OBJ
server, was an increased crustiness and vi
ciousness of temper, which prevented toe
close an examination or proximity. Joseph
Tooke, of Houston co. J. V. Jones, Of At
lanta; Robert Williams, of Tenn, and 9th.

and another animal of the same description
from Mr.. Farrar, Of Atlanta, constituting
