there to be acclimated, prior to taking part
i'm the great test between the dairy breeds,
that begins in May and extends through the
entire time of the fair. No more important
or comprehensive test has ever taken place
in the world and it will settle in the most
public manner under rules fair to all alike,
and for all time to come, the veXed question
of which is the best dairy breed.
The collection and management of this
herd was Entrusted to committee of the
Club composed of such well known Jersey
breeders and dairymen as Messrs. John
Boyd. Chicago; Pierce j. COgswell Roches-
ter, N. Y, Geo. V. Green, HOpkinsville,
KY, and Frank r. Shaw, Dunkirk N. Y,
with that well known and successful Dem
Ocratic campaigner, j. j. Richardson, of
Davenport, Iowa, as chairman: ID. Ii. Jen-
kins, of Jersey Bulletin fame as secretary,
and Valancey K. Fuller, better known as
the owner of the famous Mary Anne of st.
Lambert, as superintendent No better
committee could have been chosen, and the
results bear out this statement.
The Jerseys at Jackson Park include such
wOrld-renowned cows as Messrs. Matthews

ippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois,

thus early, the Jersey men are but keeping

chanan an entry of stock, they have never
ceased through their representative on the
committee of test (Mr. Frank +. Shaw to
aid the authorities by every means i'm their
power to perfect feasible and practical

American Jersey Cattle Club, and Jersey
breeders themselves have never hesitated or
faltered; they have pushed steadily ON, have
overcome all obstacles, have We'd with each
other In placing at the disposal of the conn
mttee their most valuable and valued cows.

public-spirited enthusiasm and confidence
seems to have actuated every Jersey breeder
In the matter.
