DRAFT HORSES.

In the class of Draft Horses there were twenty four entries only. The committee on Draft Horses were not furnished with pedigrees of the stock they examined; they were therefore governed by external appearances, to some extent, in awarding premiums. Developments of heavy loin and stout muscle were looked upon as favorable marks for

Draft Horses. The exhibition of Draft Horses was exceedingly fine, and in several instances, it was with difficulty a preference could be made. It would not, in our opinion, be any exaggeration to say that all the stock we were called on to view, was truly good; just such as the great agricultural interests of the State demand, and such as we trust they will cultivate. We submit the following awards:

John Hoggings & Bradford, Florence, Boone county, Ky., best stallion, Duke of Bourbon, 6 years, first premium..

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.

$50

50

The display in this ring was certainly as fine as at any previous State Fair, and the exceeding closeness of the competition occasioned much difficulty in determining precisely where to place the award. The most serious obstacle which met your committee in the outset, was the necessity of having to place in direct competition with each other, the aged horse, with his maturity of form, and qualities fully defined, and the colt, whose future development and excellence is at most a matter of promise and hopeful conjecture.

To obviate this difficulty, therefore, and to protect the younger animal from the injustice which must surely result to him by this unequal competition, your committee would suggest the propriety of thus classifying the sweepstake premiums, requiring the matured and undeveloped horses to compete among themselves, and not, as now, with each other.

Best stallion, 4 years old and over, of any breed.

In the class of Jacks and Mules, there were 35 entries, being a considerable increase on those of the previous exhibition. Mules are perhaps in greater favor in the southern portion of the State than in the northern. At the exhibition at Cleveland, in 1856, there were 25 animals entered for competition, and of this number 5 only were owned north of the National road, whilst out of 38 animals at the recent exhibition, one only (from Miami county) was owned north of the National road.

Recently, mules have been substituted for horses in omnibus lines in Cincinnati, and are steadily being introduced on farms, and there is no doubt they will yet be much more extensively introduced.

The following is a list of the awards:

R. D. Hilts, Springdale, best Jack, 2 years old and under 3, Monterey, 1st premium.... $25 R. D. Hilts, do., best Jack 1 year old and under 2, 1st premium....

SHEEP.

At the exhibition at Cleveland, in 1856, the fine sheep were allowed to compete with each other; the Saxons with Merinos and Silesians. This arrangement was by no means satisfactory to exhibitors, and there were, consequently, very few entries in this class. At the recent exhibition, there were two classes of fine sheep, "Saxons and their grades," and "Merinos and their grades." The Silesians were entered in the class of Saxons, under the belief that Silesians are the offspring of the Saxon race, although several of the exhibitors of pilesians strongly urged the propriety of permitting the "Silesians" to compete by themselves. There were 23 entries in the class of Saxons, comprising 18 bucks, 10 lambs, and 35 ewes. The following is a list of the awards:

SAXONS AND THEIR GRADES.

Karr & Starr, Carey, Wyandotte county, buck over 2 years old, 1st premium
Alexander Black, Greencastle, Ind., Saxon buck, mark R, 2 years old, 2d premium ...
Karr & Starr, Carey, buck, 1 year old, 1st premium...
