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

 person. Payment will be made at the 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 per mile 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 ex- 

 hibition, 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 com. 

 petitor. 



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 the last 

 Wednesday 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 follow- 

 ing 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 EntHes and Certificates. 



In the appointment of Committees the Trustees will seek for 

 the most judicious and skillful 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 

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

 the highest importance that earnest and persevering eflbrts be 

 made by the citizens of every town in the County to bring out 

 the results of their skill and industry. 



JOHN S. ELDRIDGE, President. 

 Henry O. Hildreth, Secretary.
