The committee on foreign horses having examined all the horses brought before them, respectfully submit the following report:

DRAUGHT HORSES.

The stallion called "Old Clyde," a dapple grey, 13 years old, 17 hands high, weighing about 2,150 lbs., owned by Mrs. Jane Ward, of Markham, Canada West, is, in the opinion of the committee, the best horse for the purpose of draught which was brought before them, but having taken the highest premium offered by this society, in 1848, your committee recommend that a certificate and diploma be awarded to Mrs. Ward.

The stallion called "Canadian Clyde," a dapple grey, 6 years old, 17 hands high, weighing 1800 lbs., owned by Mr. Joseph Graham, of Canada West, is, in the opinion of your committee, the second best horse of this subdivision; Diploma and $10.

Stallion called "Clyde Britain," dapple grey, 6 years old, 17 hands high, weight about 1,700 lbs., owned by Mr. John Masson, of Cobourg, Canada West, is, in the opinion of the committee, the third best horse of this subdivision, and highly commended.

In making their selections the committee were governed by size, form, activity, the relative proportion of bone and muscle, apparent strength, as well as the manifest care which has been taken in breeding. Among the many excellent horses examined, (for most

of them had merits of a high order,) we would mention particularly "Pride of the Mountain," a dapple grey, 7 years old, 163 hands high, weight about 1,500 lbs., owned by Hon. E. W. Stevenson, of St. Catherines, Canada West. "Wild Rover," 2 years old, iron grey, 161 hands high, owned by Mr. Wm. Miller, Canada West. "Champion," a strawberry roan, 5 years old, 17 hands high, weight about 1,600 lbs., owned by Geo. P. Dixon, Esq., of Canada West.

HORSES OF ALL WORK.

The stallion called "Perfection," a dark brown, 6 years old, 16 hands high, owned by Mr. Edward Henry Hanks, of Toronto, Canada West, is, in the opinion of your committee, the best horse" of all work," examined by them, and is entitled to the premium offered, a Diploma and $10.

"Heart of the Lion," a dark bay, 8 years old, owned by Mr. E. Tupper, Niagara Falls, Canada West, is, the second best horse in this sub-division, and is highly commended.

In making the above selections, the committee have been governed by size, form, speed, carriage, breeding, and the various qualifications necessary to constitute a perfect "horse of all work ;" and while they do not present these horses as being perfect, in all respects, yet they approach nearer to that point, in their estimation, than any other named by them. It is but proper to remark that many of the horses of this sub-division, brought before the committee, have strong claims to popular favor, and among the more conspicuous is a four year old stallion "name not ascertained," owned by John Bothwick, Esq., Toronto, Canada West; also "Green Mountain Morgan," a dark chestnut, 10 years old, 151 hands high, owned by Mr. George Bryant, of Braintree, Vermont; "Morgan Hector," 3 years old, owned by Mr. F. A. Wier, Walpole, New Hampshire; "King Alfred," blood bay, 9 years old, 16 hands high, owned by Mr. Joseph Ashford, Drummondsville, Canada West.

CARRIAGE HORSES.

A pair of blood bays, geldings, 7 years old, 16 hands high, well matched and broke, good action, belonging to Mr. Augustus Sawyer, of Summit county, Ohio, and in the opinion of the committee, the best pair of "foreign matched horses." Highly Commended.
