Gentlemen : — I herewith submit the report of the work of this 
division since the last meeting. 
The work has been mostly inspection of importations. The 
"Lurline" arrived with 52 mules and one horse on board. Twenty- 
four mules were consigned to the Schuman Carriage Co. and were 
immediately quarantined in the Schuman paddock. The rest of 
the shipment were for Hilo. 
I considered those going to Hilo as very suspicious, there hav- 
ing been five rejected on test from the same herd and advised Dr. 
Elliot of the same. Considering the fact that there is no quar- 
antine station at Hilo, I only allowed them; to pass here upon the 
guarantee of the man in charge to carry out Dr. Elliot's plans for 
isolation, whatever they might be. 
The "Virginian" arrived here from Seattle with two stallions 
on board for A. W. Carter, which horses were to be used for 
breeding purposes. They had come through with no certificate 
of health and were immediately quarantined at Mr. Waterhouse's 
stables on Judd street and tested the second day following. The 
result of the test proved them to be free from glanders and so 
they were allowed to proceed to their final destination. 
The remaining live stock consisted of chickens and turkeys, all 
of which passed, showing no infection of any kind.
