igio.] Live Stock at the Brussels Exhibition. 66 i 



The Agriculture Committee of the Royal Commission on 

 the Brussels, Rome and Turin Exhibitions have communicated 

 to the Board a Report on the Live Stock 



mittee, on which the Board of Agriculture was represented, 

 was appointed with a view to assisting individual exhibitors 

 and generally to encourage the export of pedigree live stock 

 to the Continent. 



As it was obvious that it would be impossible to show live 

 stock in an Exhibition that would remain open for six months, 

 the Committee determined to ask the Breed Societies to 

 co-operate with them in the organisation of a pictorial exhibit 

 composed of large photographs of typical animals, with short 

 descriptions in three languages of the chief merits of the 

 different breeds.* This exhibit was successfully staged, but 

 was, unfortunately, destroyed in the fire which occurred at 

 the Exhibition on August 14th last. The exhibit itself was 

 amply insured to cover the cost of production, but nothing 

 could compensate for such a loss at a time when many 

 agriculturists were visiting the Exhibition, and important 

 practical results might reasonably have been expected from 

 the advertisement. Fortunately, a duplicate of the exhibit 

 had been sent out to the Agricultural Exhibition at Buenos 

 Aires, and this the Board of Trade has undertaken to send 

 on to the International Exhibition which will be held next 

 year at Turin. 



The Committee are of opinion that it is most desirable 

 that this system of advertisement once commenced should 

 be continued so that the Breed Societies and the Breeds which 

 they represent shall be brought prominently before the publip 

 in different parts of the world. Every endeavour will be 

 made at the International Exhibition at Turin to add to the 

 attractions of the exhibit, but to do this a certain expenditure 

 will be required from time to time, and it is hoped that the 

 Breed Societies will agree to the balance which still remains 

 in the hands of the Committee being used for that purpose.
