The points here proposed are all positive, as low positive points 

 indicate the position of an inferior exhibit just as well as, if not better 

 than, negative ; while it simplifies matters to have only the one descrip- 

 tion of points. Besides, it is less galling to exhibitors of inferior stock 

 to have the position of their animals indicated by low positive points 

 than by negative. 



For convenience in dealing with the points, and in order to enable 

 stock-owners and breeders to know the relative position of the various 

 exhibits from the number of marks given them by the judges, the 

 highest possible aggregate number of points attainable should be fixed
