At Peoria in 1874 there was a vacancy in the Committee of Judges on Herds, all breeds showing, when an outside man was called in. This man was the only one that examined the Hereford herd, and he said afterward that the other members of the Committee would not look at the Herefords. At Ottawa, in 1876, the Here- ford exhibitors made a special appeal to the president, D. B. Gillham, to the superintend- ent, and other members of the Board, that the judges on herds be selected from men that were not Shorthorn breeders—men that should be impartial in their judging. The superintend- ent was active to get such a committee, and secured the assistance of the marshal of the ring (both Shorthorn breeders) in making the selection. They said to the Hereford exhibitors that they had taken special pains to get an im- partial committee and that they had found a referee from the central part of the state. Who? W
