As the wheels of the great exposition began to turn a. greeting from the president came over the wire:“1 am glad to press the button to open the fourth annual dairy show, and I hope it will be as complete a success as important interests it represents deserve.” EE CORD SHOW FOR COMPLETENESSUnquestionably this was the most pretentious opening of any of the annual events of the national dairy show.Competent critics express the opinion that the annual dairy exhibit this year at Milwaukee.,.was not only the most complete ever attempted by this organization, but the most representative dairy exhibition ever held in this or any other country.An exceedingly fine representation of dairy cattle numbering 600 head was on exhibition.Every particle of available space that could be used for exhibition purposes was occupied.
