Mr.. Mason reported that the committee
appointed to examine into the feasibility of

pany with Mr.. D. l.. Levy, who was taking

show feature OF the fair. The prizes will

breeders of beef breed of cattle, that an ex-
pert OF professional judge be employed,
and offered to contribute more than one
! third the expense.
The question was discussed by the mem
bers, some of whom, while in favor of the
proposition, feared the precedent might be
a bad one, from the fact that the society
could not afford to pay for expert judges in
all the various classes, and thus jealousies
might possibly be engendered; but the
subject was referred TO get more definite
information in regard TO the matter, and an
expression of thanks was given Mr.. Ed
