COMMITTEES AND PREMIUMS. 57 



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. 



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

 mium, unless it shall have been entered with the Secretary on or 

 before Monday, Sept. 23, and deposited in the hall by 9 o'clock 

 on Tuesday. Entries may be made by mail, but must be in full 

 detail. All fruits, flowers and vegetables will be so arranged under 

 the direction of the committee of arrangements, that specimens 

 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 neces- 

 sary 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 last day of the Fair, without 

 permission of the President, shall forfeit all premiums awarded 

 thereon. 



21. No person shall receive more than one premium for the 

 same variety and class of fruits, vegetables, grain, bread, butter, 

 canned fruit, and preserves. 



It was voted at the meeting of the Trustees that experts be em- 

 ployed to examine the whole exhibition of stock.
