GENERAL REGULATIONS. 



evidence furnished if required. All ages will be computed to the 

 first of October to determine in what division the animals shall 

 be entered. 



24. The Herd Book, or Register, number of all pure-blood 

 animals, and statements of the breeding of all animals entered 

 as grades, must be given, or filed with the application. Blank 

 forms will be furnished by applying to the Secretary. 



25. No animal may compete in more than one class or divi- 

 sion, except that cattle may compete as individuals and for the 

 Herd, Bulls and Progeny, Dairy, and any special prizes, and 

 horses, sheep and swine in their proper classes and for any spec- 

 ial prizes to which they may be eligible. All animals will be 

 judged and shown in the ring, and exhibitors must be ready to 

 bring them out when called for. 



JUDGES. 



26. The Judges are requested to report, and have their 

 names entered, at the Secretary's office, in the Mechanics' 

 Building, Huntington Avenue, immediately upon their 

 arrival, where they will be furnished with their badges and 

 informed when they will be called and where. Judges will 

 apply to the Superintendent of their Class in all cases of doubt 

 or difficulty. The Committee of Arrangements will fill vacan- 

 cies in the list of Judges, and receive their awards signed by all 

 the Judges acting in their respective classes, and said Commit- 

 tee, in case of protest, shall have full power to decide. The 

 Judges are requested to hand in their more extended reports 

 before the close of the Fair. 



They are requested to report fully upon all objects of interest 

 and value, and to make such recommendations as circumstances 

 or their experience may suggest; but they must not award any 

 extra premiums. 



27. It is desired that the Judges in each Class go together to 

 hand in their report, instead of sending it by one of their num- 

 ber, in order that cases of error or doubt may be more promptly 

 and easily made right. 



28. Judges will in no case award a premium where there is 

 no merit; and in case there is but one exhibitor in a division of 

 a class, they will award only one premium in that division — the 

 highest, or a second or third premium, as may be proper. 



29. In addition to the Prizes in money, the Judges are author- 

 ized to award two Commendations in both Class I and Class II, 

 if the entries are numerous, and the animals of sufficient merit. 

 These Commendations to consist of "Highly Commended" and 

 i; Commended."
