HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



few, however, whose names are repre- 

 sented in that volume, are still active in 

 the work. The first volume was issued in 

 1885 and the second in 1890. The National 

 Association was formed in the Fall of 1891 

 and issued its first volume in October, 1893, 

 the first volumes being delivered at the 

 World's Fair show in .Chicago in October, 

 1893, at a called meeting of the Board, held 

 at that time. At that meeting strong reso- 

 lutions were passed, copies of which were 

 forwarded to every fair association of the 

 country, asking that a distinct class be 

 made for Durocs. Only in a few of the 

 leading state fairs were these classes made 

 prior to 1893, but the Durocs had been 

 showing against other small breeds at that 

 time.
