The best of Devons, and the cross of Devons and Durhams, made 

 your Committee regret that there was no competition. The animals 

 exhibited were all very excellent 'specimens of their respective classes ; 

 and we also regret that the limits of the Society would not allow pre- 

 miums to many worthy animals that came under our inspection. 



We congratulate the Society on the very large increase of cross and 

 full blooded animals over former years, and regret that a difference of 

 opinion exists in regard to the merits of cross blood animals. 



Your Committee would also say that purchasers of animals cannot 

 be too tenacious in their requirement of testimonials of purity of blood, 

 as salesmen frequently take advantage of the unwary, to pass off cross 

 bloods for pure stock.
