SHORT-HORN BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION. 327 



Mr. Gartin: I think if Mr. Wallace gives the cup we should call it the 

 Wallace Cup. I thinii the breeders of this state are much indebted to 

 Colonel Wallace for maintaining this state class. I should like to' see the 

 cup bear his name. 



(It was taken by consent that the cup offered by Colonel Wallace 

 should be called "The Wallace Cup.") 



President Bowen: I suppose this will be an annual event? 



Mr. Wallace: If it is a success I may hang up three cups next year. 

 I will leave it to the association to say to what class the cup will be given. 



Mr. Douglas: I think Mi*. Christian's suggestion of a calf herd is a 

 very good one. 



President Bowen: The question was asked by Mr. Douglas this after- 

 noon Avhether or not he would be allowed to show in these classes next 

 year. I have forgotten what the rule has been in the past as to exhibit-

 state or calves the property of the exhibitor are entitled to show in these 

 classes. Am I correct? 



President Bowen: When Mr. Douglas asked some of us this question

 you knoAV, formerly resided in this state, but moved to Michigan, mar- 

 ried a wife, and now has moved back to the best state in the Union. 

 He did not know whether he would be allowed to exhibit animals bred 

 in Michigan. To get a clear understanding of the matter I have presented 

 the case to the association. 



Mr. Gartin: It has been no small affair heretofore to raise the fund 

 to pay for these premiums, and breeders such as Mr. Douglas have been 

 the largest contributors to the fund. Mr. Douglas called my attention to 

 this matter some three or four weeks ago, and I told him I could see 

 no reason why he should not be allowed to make an exhibit. 



Mr. Bobbins: We have not yet decided whether we shall have a state 

 class next year. I move you that we have a state class next year under 

 the same regulations in regard to ownership, breeders, etc., as we had 

 last year. (Seconded.) 



President Bowen: I should like to know just what the regulations are. 



Mr. Gartin: We made the classification first. The classification con- 

 sisted of a junior and senior yearling and a junior and seniot calf, both
