 members of the societ}'. Except for the herd asid sweepstakes premium, no animal 

 or article can be entered in more than one class, or compete for more than one 

 premium. 



Sec. 7. The society reserves the right to refuse any entries oflFered, particularly

 itors, and must not be removed until 4 o'clock p. M., of the last day of the fair.

 additional work in buildings or elsewhere, must apply to the President. In all such 

 cases the exhibitor must bear the expense. 



Sec. 10. Exhibitors will not be allowed to sell goods, except on the last day of the 

 Fair (though they may receive and book orders, and all articles and animals may

 wares in a noisy or disorderly manner. 



Sec. 11. All entries must be made in the name of the owner, or the names of the 

 joint owners, actual growers, producers, inventors or manufacturer. The penalty for

 class, will be entered in the Secretary's books, upon entry cards, and upon books of 

 the Viewing Committee. 



Sec. 13. Ample space and facilities for exhibition and display of articles, imple-

 furnished, and to all such a card or label may be attached, giving name and residence 

 of exhibitor, name of machine, use and retail price. 



Sec. 14. Every article or animal upon the Fair ground will be under the control 

 of the Executive Committee, and every precaution will be taken for their safe keep- 

 ing, but the Society will not be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur, 

 and upon this condition entries are received. 



Sec. 15. B@" Exhibitors having articles or animals on exhibition which require 

 their constant supervision, care and attention, will be furnished with entrance tickets 

 on application to the Superintendent in charge of the several departments, at such 

 Superintendent's direction, which tickets will be taken up on presentation at the 

 gate. A separate gate will be set apart for such exhibitors at which all holders of 

 exhibitors' tickets must enter. Every exhibitor shall give to the Superintendent in 

 charge of his department, a list of all assistants he may need in his department, and 

 such Superintendent shall furnish a list of such names to the Superintendent of 

 Gates, and every renter of booths or stands, shall make out a list of the names of 

 the person or persons under his or her control, necessary to aid him or her in their 

 exhibition or business, and present it to the Superintendent of Gates, who shall give 

 a copy of such list to the gatekeeper, with instructions to check the name of every 

 holder of such tickets, for every entrance he or she may make upon the Society's 

 grounds during its Fair. 



Superintendents will procure such attendants' tickets at the office of the President, 

 and each Executive Superintendent shall personally be at his office from 4 to 5 o'clock 

 P. M., during each day of the Fair, during which time exhibitors entitled to such 

 attendants' tickets shall personally apply for the same, and the Superintendent shall 

 keep a record of the names of such exhibitors, and the number of tickets daily sup- 

 plied to each. 



Sec. 16. So far as possible space in proper hall shall be assigned to each particular 

 division and class, and articles entered for premiums must be assigned to the space 

 thus set apart. The crowding of articles of an entirely diiferent class and character 

 into space thus set apart for any particular class should be avoided. 



Sec. 17. The entries in the several departments shall be arranged as nearly as pos- 

 sible as follows: 



Cattle — In the stables assigned them, the several breeds as nearly as practicable 

 ranged together. 



Sheep and Swine—In the pens according to their breed. 



Horses— In the stables as they may be assigned by the Superintendent of the 

 Horse Depaitment, with open doors in the daytime, unless the superintendent in 

 charge shall, in his discretion, allow the door to be closed.
