and the decision of the Council on all matters arising 

 under this Schedule shall be final. Each protest must 

 state specifically the ground of objection, and be 

 accompanied by a deposit of los., which may be forfeited 

 in the event of the protest not being sustained. A 

 protest may be lodged by a member of Council (not an 

 Exhibitor) at any time without a deposit." 



(3) S.H.S. REGULATIONS 



" With the exception of an objection based upon 

 alleged Fraud, every protest must be lodged before 

 5 P.M. on the first day of the Show. Such protest 

 or other objection must be made in writing and handed 

 in at the Secretaries' Office, on the Show Ground." 



(4) N.S.P.S. REGULATIONS 



" The decision of the Judges will be final, except 

 in cases when, after any award is made, the exhibit is 

 not found in accordance with the requirements of the 

 schedule. All matters of protest, disqualification, etc., 

 must be lodged with the Hon. Secretary, not later than 

 3 P.M. on the day of the exhibition, when they will be 

 dealt with by an Arbitration Committee whose judgment 

 will be decisive. 



EXAMPLES 



Examples are given hereunder of protests that were 

 of quite legitimate character : 



(i) In a Class for " 24 bunches of (hardy) cut flowers, 

 arranged for effect," an Exhibitor was disqualified because 

 his bunches were not tied. In the same Schedule, for 

 " 24 bunches of Sweet Peas," prizes were awarded to 

 untied bunches. The disqualified Exhibitor in the 

 former Class had here an excellent case for a protest, and 

 lodged it successfully.
