260 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE 



Exhibitors are requested, as far as possible, to famish to the 

 Secretary a list of the entries they wish to make, with the 

 division and class under which they desire each article to 

 compete, noted thereon. Attention to this matter will facili- 

 tate the entries very much. All entries in Division A must be 

 made before August 1st, 1871. (See note in Division A). 



Fruit will be marked with cards furnished by the Secretary, 

 designating the class and number of entry; and during the 

 exhibition all articles must be placed entirely under the 

 management of the ofEcers of the society. 



All articles entered for exhibition will be required to remain 

 on the grounds during the days of exhibition, under penalty 

 of forfeiture of the right to premium, unless permitted by the 

 Superintendents to take them off the grounds. 



When a majority of the viewing committee are present, 

 they shall constitute a quorum, and be authorized to award 

 premiums ; and the first on the list of those present shall be 

 chairman. 



No person will be allowed to sell the articles they have on 

 exhibition until special permission is granted by the Superin- 

 tendent. 



Short addresses will be delivered at Pomological Hall, on 

 Thursday afternoon, by prominent gentlemen who are expected 

 to be present.
