Mr. Stuart, from the committee appointed to make final re- 

 port concerning the proposed fat stock showj and to arrange 

 list for premiums on fat stock to be exhibited at the fair of 

 1884, made the following report, which was accepted and con- 

 curred in: 



Gentlemen — Upon a second and more careful review of the proposition to hold a 

 fat stock show this year, your committee finds that there exists throughout the 

 State a very strong feeling that such a show should be held. But, owing to the 

 depressed condition of the business interests of the State, caused in part by the 

 failure of crops last year, and by the recent floods; and, al^o, because of this being 

 the year for holding a presidential election, we do not think the Board would be 

 justified in attempting to hold the fat stock show. We recognize and appreciate 

 the very cordial and substantial support given this Board by the citizens of In- 

 dianapolis in their efibrts to raise the fund and provide buildings for the holding 

 of the show, and it enables us to say that we can see no possible obstacle in the 

 way of holding a fat stock show in 1885.

The list of fat stock premiums submitted was, after some 

 discussion, rejected. 



Mr. Stuart moved that judges on awards be paid $5 per day, 

 and expenses allowed, for their services. 



Mr. Custer moved to amend by making the pay $5 per day 

 and railroad fare, which was not adopted. 



Mr. Sunman moved to amend by adding hotel fare, to which 

 there was no second. 



Mr. Dungan moved to amend by fixing the pay at $3; not 

 carried. 



Mr. Stuart moved to amend by fixing the pay at $5, which 

 was carried.
