mittee of the State Board of Agriculture to bring about these 

 changes during the coming session. Is that correct? 



H. S. Stanberry, Black Hawk County : The Resolutions Com- 

 mittee was appointed by the chair and it was suggested to them 

 that they adopt a resolution covering these matters and also in-

 their proxies to some one who will attend the meeting of the 

 American Trotting Association. As I understand it we can give 

 our proxy to Mr. Cameron or Mr. Curtin or anyone who will be at 

 the meeting. I think we should do this so our associations will 

 'be represented. 



The President: Mr. Austin is correct. Some arrangement 

 should be made to have your fair represented, either in person or 

 by proxy in the hands of some one who will be present at the 

 meeting and who will properly represent you. Another matter 

 that is coming before the American Trotting Association, and you
