  14. ↑ THIRD Division—3 AND 2 YEAR OLD. / Committee.—James Foot, Lyman Foot, Albert D. Cole. / The display was exceedingly good. 'twelve yoke of three year old steers were entered. The Committee award to :— Luther S. Butler of Lenox, $6.00; Edward Spencer of Washington, 5 00 ; Zachariah Sears of Lenox, 4 00; Joseph Foot of Pittsfield, 3 00; Levi Butler of Lenox, 2 00 /
    The Committee considered tho show of two year old steers rather light.
    The awards are to:— Edward S. Rowley of Richmond, $ 4 00; Henry J. Root of Lenox, 3 00; (Mr. Rowley's premium premium was forfeited, and Mr. Root was raised to the first.) / Fourteenth Division Swine / Committee. — E. W. B. Canning, Zacebeo / Condco, Luther S. Butler. / There were seven entries of Boar Awards are to Alonzo Tyler, Lanceboro, $5 00 / Joshua Gorton, Lanceboro, 4 00 James Dewell, West Stockbridge, 3 00 / There were eight entries of sows and pigs, on which the awards are to E. S. Rowley, Richmond, 6 00; Elisha Collins, Stockbridge, 5 00; J. H. Butler, Dalton, 4 00; S. A. Goodcll, Pittsfield, 3 00; Amos Shepardson, Lanceboro, 2 00; Abram Burbank, Pitsfield, 1 00 /
    It was found that Mr. Rowley, who took the first premium of $6, had obtained it fraudulently by adding pigs not the progeny of the stow, whereupon the society ordered that his premiums in this and all other departments be forfeited, and that the awards to competitors below him be correspondingly advanced in rank and amount of premiums.
