All claims (entries) for premiums on Fair Grounds, must 

 be handed or forwarded to the Secretary or his agent, in 

 writing, previous to the day of the Fair, if possible, or on or 

 before 9 o'clock, A. M., of the first day thereof. 



Any person not a member of the Society, awarded seven dol- 

 lars and upwards, shall receive a certificate of membership, 

 for which three dollars of his award will be taken to increase 

 the funds of the Society. 



Diplomas awarded will be delivered and premiums paid, to 

 the person to whom the premium or gratuity is awarded, or 

 an agent duly authorized, on application to the Treasurer, at 

 First National l>ank. Salem. 



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 con- 

 sidered as given to increase the funds of the Society. 



In all cases the reports of award of premiums and gratuities 

 made by 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 reports. 



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 in- 

 structed to award no premium unless the animal or article 

 offered is worthy. 



No animal or object that is entered in one class, with one 

 committee shall be entered in another class, except town 

 teams, fat cattle, working oxen, working steers, and farm 

 horses, which may be entered for ploughing, and milch cows, 

 which may be entered with a herd. 



In regard to all 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 

 article offered ; and that no premium will be awarded unless 

 the objects of them are of decidedly superior quality. 



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

 culture. 



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

 the animal or its ancestors, as recorded in some herd book, 

 recognized by leading breeders and the public generally, as 

 complete and authentic.
