RULES FOE LIVE-STOCK EXHIBITS 385 



Register number of animals. 



12. Persons exhibiting pure-bred animals, one year of age and over, 

 will be required to furnish register number of animals to be exhibited, 

 or, in case of younger animals not registered, the names and register 

 number of sires and dams. 



Animals exhibited as breeders. 



13. Evidence satisfactory to the members in charge, or the Award- 

 ing Judges, will be required that the animals exhibited as breeders are 

 not barren, and no awards of premiums shall be made where there is 

 unsoundness in breeding animals, which is transmissible. 



Interference with judges. 



14. No person other than the judges, except the officers of the Fair 

 Board, the superintendent, and the grooms in charge, will be permitted 

 to go into the rings where the stock is being passed upon by the Award- 

 ing Judges, and no exhibitor or other person will be allowed to inter- 

 fere or communicate with the judges of live-stock during the adjudica- 

 tions. If judges desire information from exhibitors or others concerning 

 animals on exhibit, they will make the fact known and call for such ex- 

 planation or information as may be necessary in the case. A violation 

 of this rule will disqualify exhibitors from competing, or subject them 

 to a forfeiture of any premium that may have been awarded. 



Disrespect to awards or judges. 



15. If any disrespect is shown to an award or to the Awarding Judges, 

 by the exhibitor or his agent, he shall forfeit all awards made to him, and 

 the member in charge shall report the same promptly to the Secretary. 



False evidence. 



16. Should a premium be found to have been obtained by false 

 evidence or misrepresentation, or a violation of any of the rules of the 

 Board, it will be withheld. 



Animals entering the ring. 



17. Horses and cattle can enter the arenas only under halter unless 

 otherwise specified, and in charge of grooms, and sheep and swine only 

 in charge of attendants.
