Declow Cedar Rapids, Iowa " 6 Geo. E. Morris Genoa Bluffs, Iowa " 6 J. H. McAllister Joy, Nebraska " 6 The display of horses was very fine in quality and fully up in point of numbers to what had been expected prior to the closing of entries. The small number of horses shown is accounted for in this way; owing to the great depression in the horse and mule industry and the dispersion of many of the valuable studs, owing to the financial difficulties extending back to 1893, 1894 and 1895. Awards were made for horses exhibited in this division of exhibits as next below stated. C l a s s I. STANDARD TROTTERS. F. M.
