distance from whence they came to the place of exliibitlon — and 

 receive no premium. Only one travel will be allowed to the same

 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 shcei). 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. 



Tlie 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 

 without 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 tlie last Wed- 

 nesday in March following, will be considered as given to the 

 Society, in aid of its funds. 



The Trustees have carefully revised and approved of the folloAV- 

 ing list of premmms. 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 award 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 Legis- 

 lature 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 industiy.
