At recent meeting of the Direc-
tors of the Baltimore Livestock show
it was decided to hold the 1880 show
October ID, Is, 16, II. A new CLASH
fication was presented and other
plans discussed for improvements in
the various departments.
Baltimore Livestock Show
One of the features of the coming
show will be an open class for indi-
vidual steers. No All club entries
are eligible in this class, which is de-
signed for farmers and cattle feeders
only. The steers in this class must
be shown at the halter. Entries in
this class cannot be entered as one
of any group or carlot. The object
of this class is to give an opportunity
to farmers and cattle feeders who
cannot get into the other classes. The
steer winning first in the class will
compete with the winning All Club
steers for the championship. Glasses
for fat hogs and fat lambs were
also provided.
The fat cattle carlot classes were
divided into one for heavy steers
weighing over HOO pounds, and the
other for fat steers weighing under
HOO pounds. Glasses were also pro-
vided for a group of steers, 6 to 10
