rate of ten cents per mile, for a yoke of oxen or steers ; eight 

 cents per mile, for each bull, cow, heifer, or yearling ; ten cents 

 per mile, for each boar, sow or litter of weaned pigs ; and eight 

 cents for each flock of sheep. But no such payment shall be 

 made for any animal, or animals, which, in the judgment of the 

 Committee appointed to manage them, are not of a superior 

 character and worthy of exhibition, or have not been entered in 

 accordance with the rules and regulations of the Society. 



The animals, while on the ground, will be fed at the expense 

 of the Society. 



No person serving on any of the Committees shall have a 

 vote in any case, when he shall be personally interested as a 

 competitor. 



After the objects for exhibition are arranged, they will be 

 under the exclusive charge of the Superintendents, and cannot 

 be removed ivithout their consent. 



All other Entries for premiums must be made in writing, and 

 shall be placed in the hands of the Recording Secretary, on or 

 before the 15th of November. 



Premiums awarded, and not called for on or before the last 

 Wednesday in March following, will be considered as given to 

 tlie Society, in aid of its fundl^. 



The Trustees have carefully revised and approved of the fol- 

 lowing list of premiums. The respective Committees, appointed 

 to award the same, are required to enforce a strict conformity 

 to all the rules in relation to Entries and Certificates. 



In the appointment of Committees.^ the Trustees will seek for 

 the most judicious and skilful individuals in the various towns 

 in the County, to aivard the premiums ; but should they fail to 

 secure the aid of the ablest and most experienced men in the 

 above capacity, they will rely upon the forbearance which, they 

 believe, will be generously extended towards sincere and 

 unwearied efforts. 



As it will become the duty of the Society to make to the 

 Legislature an exact report of its doings, the Trustees deem it 

 of the highest importance that earnest and persevering efforts 

 be made by the citizens of every town in the County, to bring 

 out the results of their skill and industry.
