The exhibition as a whole in this department was a very creditable 

 one, the best we have had in several years, and, so far as I am able 

 to learn, was as free from any unpleasant features as one could expect. 

 I have no recommendations to offer. While the expenses of this depart- 

 ment are somewhat more than I wish they were, I was unable to procure 

 a competent judge at less compensation, and feel that his pay was money 

 well spent. All of which is respectfully submitted. 



W. E. BOYDEN, 

 Superintendent Cattle.
