Diplomas awarded will be delivered and premiums paid on 

 application, either by the person to whom the premium or gra- 

 tuity is awarded, or an agent duly authorized, by the Treasurer, 

 at First National Bank, Salem. 



In all cases the reports of award of premiums and gratuities 

 made b} r the several committees and adopted by the Society 

 shall be final. Committees should see that the premium cards 

 issued correspond with the premiums and gratuities awarded in 

 their report. 



All premiums and gratuities awarded, the payment of which 

 is not demanded of the Treasurer on or before the first day of 

 September next succeeding the Exhibition, will be considered as 

 given to increase the funds of the Society. 



No person shall be entitled to receive a premium, unless he 

 complies with the conditions on which the premiums are offered, 

 and by proper entry as required, gives notice of his intention to 

 compete for the same ; and committees are instructed to award 

 no premium unless the animal or article offered is worth}'.

 committee, shall be entered in another class, except town teams, 

 fat cattle, working oxen and draft horses, which ma}' be entered 

 for ploughing, and milch cows, which may be entered with a herd. 



In regard to all the subjects for which premiums are offered, 

 it is to be distinctly understood that the Trustees reserve to 

 themselves the right of judging the quality of the animal or ar- 

 ticle offered ; and that no premiums will be awarded unless the 

 objects of them are of a decidedly superior quality. 



Pure Bred Animals, defined by the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture. 



The proof that an animal is so bred should be a record of the 

 animal or its ancestors, as recorded in some herd book, recog- 

 nized by leading breeders, and the public generally as complete 

 and authentic.
