SPKCIAL NOTICE. 5 



The strictest rules, enforced in the most faithful manner, will, 

 without the co-operation of the members ©f the Society, fail of full 

 effect, and an earnest appeal is made to every member to set the 

 example of strict compliance with the rules, even at the expense 

 of slight temporary inconvenience, for the sake of the ultimate 

 benefit to the exhibitions and the Society. Past experience of 

 growing abuses has shown that such rules are absolutely necessary. 

 If any exception is made in favor of any member, the next comer 

 will claim an exception in his case, and the enforcement of the 

 rules is at an end. 



WILLIAM H. SPOONER, 



Chairman of Committee. 



The above report was unanimously accepted, and the rules were 

 adopted, and ordered to be printed in the Schedule. 



FRANCIS B. HAYES, 



President. 

 Robert Manning, 



Recording Secretary.
