 subject to any appeal. 



17. All entries in competition for prizes must be made in the 

 name of the owners, or the names of the joint owners, if of 

 animals. In Classes VL, VII., VIII. and IX., all articles must 

 be the product of the exhibitor. The penalty for transgression 

 of this rule will be exclusion from the present and all future 

 exhibitions of the Society. 



18. Premiums will not be awarded to animals or articles not 

 worthy. If there be but one exhibitor in any division, or sub- 

 division, of a class, only one premium will be awarded — the 

 first or a lower premium, as the Judges may think deserved. 



19. Implements and machines exhibited, must be labelled 

 with the name of the exhibitor, name of the machine, its use 

 and the retail price; and they are required to be the same in 

 construction and finish as those sold to the farmer,— not speci- 

 mens gotten up for exhibition. 



20. The Society reserves the right to withold the premiums 

 awarded in every case in which it shall appear to the Committee 

 of Arrangements that the regulations have not been complied 

 with, or that fraud or deception has been practiced or attempted. 



21. No person having entered anything for competition may 

 afterwards withdraw it; nor may any one refuse any premium 

 awarded, and prize cards and ribands must be displayed during 

 the Fair. Any infraction of these rules will incur the forfeiture

 iums remaining unclaimed on November loth, 1889, will be 



considered donated to the Society.

 grounds, and hay, bedding and water will be furnished for cat-
