thain, Brookliiic, Newton, Needham, Hyde Park, Milton and 

 Quincy being 140. 



In addition to the eases from outside the jurisdiction of 

 the Cattle Bureau to be credited to Boston and Oklahoma, 

 there were a few cases from New Hampshire and 1 from 

 Maine. The single case in Haverhill was shipped there from 

 Maine, and 3 or 4 which were detected bv the agent of the 

 Cattle Bureau detailed to the Thursday auction in Lowell 

 came from New Hampshire. One of the horses killed at An- 

 dover came from Manchester, N. H., was sold by a dealer in 

 Lowell to a poor Swede in Andover, and gave glanders to 

 the horse he was bought to mate, and both had to be killed. 



The following table shows the distribution of glanders 

 throughout the State, and the increase or decrease from the 

 previous year in cities and towns where it occurred. It will 

 be seen that the State is practically free from glanders west 

 of a line drawn north and south through Worcester, as only 

 7 cases have been found west of there, 3 in East Longineadow, 

 1 in Savoy, 1 in Orange, 1 in Holland and 1 in Sturbridge. 

 The cases in East Longmeadow wei'e all owned by one man, 

 and the trouble was brought from Connecticut, and the 1 in 

 Savoy traces to a North Adams dealer who had a case in his 

 stable the previous year.
