To herd of VIM Howe, of Rice county, great
est and best display from any county in the

The Committee on Glass A, Cattle, would
beg to report that the display of Durhams

more good animals among the former than
among the latter-sOme OF which, OF each
class, WOuiO nave Oeen circuit 10 any
State.
The herd of Mr.. VIM. Howe, of North.
field, Rice County, to which was awarded
the Banner for the greatest and best exhi-

deserves credit for bringing them SO far to
attend the Fair.
Mr.. Howe also exhibited one Ayrshire
COW, to which the Committee awarded the
first premium. There were two other COWS
entered as Ayershires, but which, in the

breed, or if they belonged to it, were inferi-
or specimens, and we therefore declined
awarding them anything.
Some inferior working cattle were entered
