 one dollar. 



D. P. Inskeep, Wapello county, third best heifer calf under ten months,

Classes 3, 4 and 5 contained natives and grades, and work oxen. The 

 following gentlemen composed the committee: Jonas Houghton, Van 

 Buren county. Judge Jeffries, Wapello contny, and J. F. PauU, Des 

 Moines county. 



The display in this department fell far short of what might have been 

 expected. The whole number of entries in all classes amounted to only four- 

 teen, but what was lacking in quantity was made up in quality, the stock 

 exhibit being of superior merit. The committee awarded the following 

 premiums: 



P. L. Huyett, Jefferson county, best bull between two and three years, 

 six dollars. 



Moses Dudley, Jefferson county, best bull between one and two years, 

 four dollars. 



J. R. Parsons, Jefferson county, best cow over three years, eight dollars. 



R. W. Griffith, Washington county, best team work oxen, ten dollars. 



P. L. Huyett, Jefferson county, second best team work oxen, eight 

 dollars.

S. Pancrast, Jefferson county, second best yoke work oxen, two dollars, 

 and J. R. Parsons, Jefferson county, best heifer calf, two dollars. 



Classes No. 6 and 7, embracing beef cattle and milch cows, were 

 examined by Messrs. Wells Andrews, Henry county, Uriah Briggs, Wapello 

 county, and Thos. C. Ireland, Jefferson county, who awarded the following: 



Timothy Day, Van Buren county, best beef, ten dollars. 



Wm. E. Day, Van Buren county, second best beef, five dollars.

Classes Nos. 8 and 9 comprised heavy draft stallions, aged three years, 

 two years, and colts; also mares of the same grades, including those with 

 foal at foot. There were about thirty entries; the competition was active, 

 and the stock was said to be of a very creditable character. The awarding
