Lot 18 should be amended to correspond. 



Dairy implements and machinery were well represented by a num- 

 ber of exhibitors. The display was large, consisting of all the imple- 

 ments and machinery used in the dairy business. The space for exhibi- 

 tion was too limited for convenient and interesting display. There was 

 some complaint, but no ill feeling manifested. 



The refrigerator will need some repairs, as it leaked quite badly, water 

 running through the wall, wetting the floor of the office of Superintendent 

 of the Horse Department.

Amount awarded 113 00

Division H. Bees and Honey, as is usual, proved to be the most at- 

 tractive feature of the exhibition. Although the exhibit was not nearly 

 so large as at the previous fair, it was probably as useful in the way 

 of an object lesson, and attractiveness, as any previous exhibits. All 

 the different races of bees were exhibited. Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson and 

 brother were the main exhibitors. 



Mr. H. D. Cutting did the judging and made no charge for his services. 



Amount of money offered for premiums $142 00 



Amount of money awarded 113 00 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
