Avrshircs have been known and recognized
5rc-3 Of cattle in this country for thirty-si
wears. For at least half that time they have
been so recognized by the New York State Sole
~ and the Massachusetts, Society, and there have
been animals Of great excellence owned in this
State nearly as long. The attention Of indivl-
dual members Of the board Of directors Of the
Vermont Society has from time to time been
called to the fact that there was no provision for
the exhibition of animals Of this breed "a dis
tinct breed: and to the additional fact that
breeders would not, under existing eireum-
stances. exhibit them except in a class Of them
sclre- and on Il level with the Durhlms, De'on-,
Sc.; Vet no provision has ever been made for
their exhibition. At this las, SHOW, some ie"
indiyidual- who owned each some three or four
animals at the most, brought in their contf1hu-
tons. and the Society, by some hook or crook
awarded them elias, premiums, and now it is but
fair to presume that the necessary concessions
having been made ou both sides, the Society will
