The entries in this department were small to what they formerly were, 

 but some credit is due to Mr. Morse of Grand Rapids, who showed some 

 good horses and decorated his stalls with taste. I would not make any 

 recommendation, believing the lack of interest in this department is 

 owing to the depreciation in the value of horses. All of which is respect- 

 fullv submittted.
