That Have Good Lists of
Entries.
The Board of Directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society met yesterday for the pur-
pose of arranging the programme for the
State Fair of 1890. Directors Hancock,
Cox, Boggs, Chase, LaRue, Carr and Green
| were present.
The Board decided to offer for 1891 fat
stock premiums as follows: Thorough
bred steer or spayed heifer. three years old
and over, $40; second best, ditto, $40; best
graded steer and heller, three years old and
over, $40; best two-year-old, $40.
Action is taken at this time in order to
give all ample notice.
Carey R. Smith, of Santa Ana, was
selected to judge the Holstein cattle. Mr..
Smith is an Inspector of the National Asso-
| citation of Holstein Breeders, which insures
PROF er judging in this class.
The Board then proceeded to discuss the
premium list, and the following are the
principal changes made: 1t was ordered
that all stock, save and except that owned
IN the States of Oregon, Nevada and Wash
| ington, must be in the State prior to June
LIST of each year to entitle them to exhibit.
In the standard trotter class the rule will
be strictly enforced (notice of which was
given last year,, that all animals competing
in that class shall be duly registered in the
Trotting Register. An additional premium
was ordered in this class for mares four
years old and over, with sucking colt, $40:
second best, $50.
The same additional premiums were
made in the roadster class
The young herd premium in the JERSEY
class was stricken out.
In herd sweepstakes for beef and milk
breeds 1t was ordered that the premium be
given for the best herd, which shall consist
of one bull and four cows, at the following
ages; One four years old and over, one
three years old, one two years old, and one
one year old.
The special premidms offered by the
Short-Horn and Holstein- Friesian Associa-
ton, for cattle in those classes that shall
obtain the award in the sweepstakes, were
accepted, and ordered printed in the regu.
lar premium list
In the class for sheep, it was ordered that
sheep shall not be recognized as eligible to
entry, unless they trace to animals re-
corded, or the exhibitor furnish in writing
at the time of entry equally satisfactory
evidence as to purity of breeding.
The usual cattle premiums were offered
for Red Polled Angus. TIE sum of So, 500
was appropriated for county exhibits.
After few additional and minor changes
the list of last year was adopted.
The Board resolved 10 charge for the use
OF stabliDg at the park, and fixed the fol-
lowing rates per stall In the new cottage
stable, SIS per month; in the old cottage
stable, So per month and for all others So
per month.
The Board found it necessary to derive
some revenue for the use of the stalls, to
pay for repairs and other expenses incl
dental to the keeping up of the grounds, as
there are no other resources available for
TINS The money appropriated by the
State cannot be used for anything but pre-
miums.
No charge for horses entered in races
will be made after the closing date of en-
tries.
