Appearance. and hard 10 decide on from
looAi.ig at the tMo; but we take the
ground that, 4 good stock horse is known
by his stock, and in examining the stoeh
OF the two horses (although the Morgan
had but small sample on exhbitiOn) that
the stock of Gen. Hancock was truly a
good sample of horse flesh; and taking
that for guide, have no difficulty IN
deciding. and therefore do award to No 3,
Gen. Hancock, the first premium, and TO
No. 10, Flying Morgan, the second premi-

OF breeding mares and colts we find OH

we award first premium. This colt is tru-
ly splendid colt.
To breeding mare and colt No. 20, Sec
ond premium.
To breeding mare and colt No. II, third
premium.
We iiud but one family horse entered for
premium, No. IL. He beinga splendid
specimen of that class of horses we feel in
duty bound to award him the first premi-
UNI.
OF yearling colts, we find good show

There were other good specimens pre-
scented at the fair, and would have been cir
titled to premiums. but those presenting
them did not comply with the Rules and
Regulations of the Society. that is. IN not
/ presenting their claims in writing; and We
do hope that In future. those bringing in
| specimens at the fair. and are expecting {
premium. will be more careful ana haad
/ in their statements in writing. to the com
Rittee. So that they can award premiums
+ to all those deserving. and we would SAY
although the season was wet. cold an,

more reInuneratiye than we could hay,
expected. and the fair was a success. il not
what we could wish in crops, it was richly
made up in the splendid show of STOCK
the hand -ome work OF the needle, and i
not within the sound OF the loom, its yard
