COMMirrEES AND PREMIUMS. 35 



13. The several committees will not consider themselves bound 

 to award a premium for anything which they may deem inferior. 



14. Any person to whom a premium shall have been awarded 

 in consequence of any deception or misrepresentation used by 

 him, shall not only forfeit such premiums, but afterwards be inca- 

 pable of competing for the Society's premiums. 



15. All persons, not members of the Society, to whom may be 

 awarded a premium, or premiums, amounting to the cost of mem- 

 bership, or upwards, shall receive a certificate of membership and 

 the balance in cash. If the amount shall be less than the price of 

 membership, a deduction of fifty per cent, will be made, unless 

 the individual chooses to make up the amount and receive a cer- 

 tificate of membership (premiums amounting to one dollar or less 

 excepted.) 



16. All premiums not demanded on or before November 30th, 

 will revert to the Society as donations. 



1 7. No article intended for the hall will be entitled to a pre- 

 mium unless it shall have been deposited by 9 o'clock A. M., on 

 Tuesday. All fruits, flowers and vegetables will be so arranged 

 under the direction of the committee of arrangements, that speci- 

 mens competing will be placed side by side without regard to 

 ownership. 



18. All articles should be plainly marked with name and resi- 

 dence of the exhibitor, except samples of bread and butter, 

 which must be designated by number until the awards are made. 

 A strict compliance with these regulations will be absolutely 

 necessary to entitle competitors to any premiums that may be 

 awarded to them. 



19. No person will be allowed to compete for a premium in 

 more than one class with the same specimen ; and if the number 

 of specimens exhibited does not correspond with the regulations, 

 the article will be excluded from competition for the premiums. 

 Collections cannot also compete for separate parts of same. 



20. Any article in the hall exhibition removed from the build- 

 ing before 4 o'clock P. M., of the second day of the Fair, without 

 permission of the President, shall forfeit all premiums awarded 

 thereon.
