REPORTS OF EXECUTIVE SUPERINTENDENTS. 



DIVISION A— CATTLE. 



To the President and Executive Committee of the Michigan State Agricultural Society: 



Gentlemen: The exhibition of cattle at the Fair of 1888 was somewhat less in 

 numbers than in some previous years, but in quality of exhibit of the various breeds 

 for which prizes were offered, compared favorably with any other exhibit. I have at 

 present no recommendations to make. I understand that there is a probability of $250 

 being offered for the use of this Society, as a prize for dairy cattle, by the American 

 Shorthorn Association.
