Mr. Stewart Culin presented a number of specimens illustrative of gambling. Mr. Henry Balfour sent a set of sections of compound bows, showing structure of four great varieties of this weapon. A collection illustrating the rapidly disappearing western cowboy and the cattle industry also Indian curios and a large series of Mormon photographs was purchased from Lewis Engel (Buckskin Lew).

Abbott sent as a gift to the museum 41 photographic negatives taken around Mt. Kilimanjaro. Yours Respectfully, O.T. Mason Curator.
