 vious District or General Show is inadmissible in the same class, except 

 for the Medal ; and one which has gained a second Money Premium can 

 only thereafter compete in that class for the first. 



6. A Tenant or Factor may compete with Proprietors for the Medal 

 with a Bull which has gained the first Money Premium at a previous 

 Show. When there is any doubt as to whether a competitor should be 

 ranked as a Proprietor or a Tenant, the point is left to the decision of 

 the local Committee.

 the Exhibitors may not be joint-tenants.

 submitted by them to the first General Meeting, in order that the Ex- 

 hibitor shall be disqualified from again competing at the Society's Shows, 

 and his name, if he be a member, struck from the roll. 



11. When an animal has previously been disqualified by the decision 

 of any Agricultural Association in Great Britain or Ireland, such dis-

 the Committee to judge of its validity.
