 by the secretary and ordered printed in the annual report of the 

 Board of Agriculture for the year 1901 : 



Whereas, The Illinois State Fair was permanently located at Springfield 

 in 1894; and 



Whereas, The State Board of Agricluture in its judgment and discretion 

 has provided ample and convenient accommodations for the exhibition of 

 machinery, farm products, mechanic arts, poultry, sheep and swine, and an 

 amphitheatre second to none in the country from which may be witnessed 

 speed contests, but has up to this time made no provision whatever for the 

 showing ot cattle and horses to halter, owing to lack ol funds to do so; and 



Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the Illinois Live Stock Breed- 

 ers' Association that the State Board of Agriculture has prepared plans and 

 specifications for a live stock pavilion in which cattle and horses may be 

 shown under shelter, said building to have a seating capacity of 3000 or 4000, 

 and will present the same to the coming General Assembly and ask tor an 

 appropriation to erect the same; therefore be it 



Resolved. That it is the sense of this association that such a building should 

 be erected in time for the holding of the next State fair, and so constructed 

 as to be convenient for the holding of public sales, and that every encourage- 

 ment should be given by the members of this association and others inter- 

 ested in the breeding of live stock, to the Board of Agriculture in its effort 

 to obtain such an appropriation. 



Resolved, That this association will use every honorable means to secure 

 the aid and vote of our representative members of the General Assembly in 

 the passage of this bill. 



Resolved, That the Illinois State Board of Agriculture has placed the Illi- 

 nois Live Stock Breeders' Association under special obligation for the many 

 courtesies extended, and for the conveniences provided for the care and ex- 

 hibition of stock used in the "Lessons in Live Stock Judging" at the State 

 fair grounds, Nov. 14, 1900.
