Pie premiums above are only the awards
to Augusta exhibitors; every department
was we'll represented and these premiums
were awarded by competent committees,
when the competition was greater than
ever before known, land all the more honor
is therefore due. 1t is to be regretted
that Mr.. Bowman left behind some of his
best animals, owing, to the excessive ex-

parties in ,ur county from sending stock,
else, no doubt. our list woult have been
larger. Yours, truly.
