The commission and Mr. Durnall agree as to the best cow, selected from
the first six on this list—on the one side by the marks, and on the other
from his knowledge.
“Having compared the annexed account of the qualities of
the seventeen cows of my herd, examined by the State Guenon
Commission, with the originals of the accounts as given by both
parties at separate times, and taken down upon the spot, I
believe it to be a true and faithful transcript of the original
record of the examination.
SAMUEL J. SHARPLESS.”
PHILADELPHIA, _May 20, 1878_.
“I was present at the examination of Mr. Sharpless’ herd
of Jerseys, made on the 10th of May by the State Guenon
Commission, and having examined the accounts of the herd given
by me, as hereto annexed, with the original entries of those
given by me, and also the accounts of the commission, with
the original written opinions, do certify that the annexed
are faithful transcripts of the records made by each party at
separate times, and that the statements were unknown to each
other.
E. J. DURNALL,
_Herdsman for Samuel J. Sharpless_.”
LENAPE FARM, _May 20, 1878_.
The Commission at Strode’s Farm.
