Committee. — Parley A. Russell, J. A. Tanner, J. M. Benjamin. 



ANIMALS — Twenty-Seventh Division — Ladies' Driving. 

 Number of entries, 7. 

 Your Committee in making their report, do not forget the Chair- 

 man of the Committee of this Division of last year, whose presence 

 from the Fair we miss, and w T hose warm heart gave expression in a 

 hearty hand-shake, and so we miss him, "Marshall Warner." Your 

 Committee on Ladies' Driving attended to the duties assigned them, 

 on receiving the book found eight entries, but only five answered to 

 the roll call. After testing their horsemanship in various ways, 

 your Committee would recommend that instead of the "last per- 

 formance" of the day, that more time and money be given this Divi- 

 sion, and in addition to what has been required that they unharness 

 their horses, and harness again and place before the wagon alone, 

 and thus impress our young ladies with the necessity of understand- 

 ing how to harness their own horse, if the fathers are busy with their 

 farm duties.
