SHOW REGULATIONS 27 



paying surprise visits to any Exhibitor's garden to 

 inspect the specimens while growing previous to the 

 show. An Exhibitor who exhibits any article as grown 

 by himself which is not so grown, will be disqualified 

 from this and all future competitions. This rule will 

 be enforced. 



3. That all Exhibitors may be required by the Com- 

 mittee to declare in writing that all articles exhibited by 

 them are their own growth, and that they have been their 

 own bond fide property, and in their own house, garden, or 

 field for at least six weeks prior to the day of Exhibition, 

 and if any Exhibitor refuse to comply with this requisi- 

 tion, or be detected exhibiting any production obtained 

 from another person as if it were his own, or if he should 

 in any other manner impose upon the Society, he shall 

 not be entitled to any prize that may be awarded to him, 

 and shall not be allowed to compete at any future meet- 

 ing except with the consent of the Committee. 



4. Any Exhibitor obtaining a prize fraudulently will 

 forfeit the whole of the Prize Money he may otherwise 

 be entitled to, and will be prohibited from exhibiting in 

 future. Should any doubt arise as to the exhibits sent 

 for competition, the Committee reserve to themselves 

 power to appoint a Sub-Committee to inspect the garden 

 or place of cultivation of such Exhibitor, and to make 

 such further inquiries and investigations as may be 

 deemed necessary. 



5. If a particular number of Plants, Flowers, Fruits, 

 or Vegetables is specified for a Class, dish, or collection, 

 any excess or deficiency in the number disqualifies an 

 Exhibitor, neither the Judges nor any other person 

 having power to correct the mistake of an Exhibitor, who 

 must abide by the consequences of his own want of 

 exactness. The Judges, though forced to disqualify, 

 may recommend the Committee to grant an extra prize, 

 if the exhibit is sufficiently meritorious.
