 the bulls and heifers of these classes be the property of the exhibitors. 

 It was then moved and seconded that the steer classes be confined to 

 Indiana breeders, bred and owned by Indiana exhibitors. 



President Bowen: Then the proposition is tliat this association make 

 the same offer of premiums for such classes as the executive committee 

 may designate, the bulls and heifers to be dropped the property of the 

 exhibitor, and the steer classes to be confined to Indiana breeders. 



Mr. Roljbins: The steers must l)e bred in Indiana and l)e owned by 

 the exhibitor from Indiana.

 the association for the ensuing year. 



Tiie motion was seconded and cai-ried by a unanimous vote, and Presi- 

 dent liowen cast the vote of the association as directed. 



.Mr. (Jnitin: I suppose the responsibility of raising the money for 

 the stale class rests ujion th(> secretary. Last year part of it was raised 

 at the meeting and part of it tlu-ough correspondence with the members. 

 P^very member of the association was asked to contribute. 1 tliink it 

 would be a good plan to see how much money can be raised here tonight. 

 I like this plan better than to sit down and write two or three letters to a 

 ineml)er asking him to contribute. We niiglit try to raise part of the fund 

 here tonight, and then 1 shall correspond- with the members not present.
