GENERAL REGULATIONS. 



15. Exhibitors wishing to erect separate buildings, and ex- 

 hibitors requiring additional work in buildings or elsewhere, must 

 apply to the Secretary. In all such cases, the exhibitors must bear 

 the expense. 



16. Exhibitors can ascertain from the superintendents of the 

 several departments when the Judges may be expected to examine 

 their animals or articles. No complaint or appeal based upon the 

 statement that the Judges have overlooked animals or articles, will 

 be considered by the Executive Committee. 



17. All protests must be in writing, must state plainly the cause 

 of complaint or appeal, and must be delivered to the President 

 within six hours after the cause of protest, 



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

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

 mals. In classes VI., 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. 



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

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

 sion of a class, only one premium will be awarded — the first or a 

 lower premium, as the Judges may think deserved. 



20. Implements and machines exhibited, must be labeled 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 arid 

 finish as those sold to the farmer,— not specimens got up for exhi- 

 bition. 



21. The Society reserves the right to withhold the premiums 

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

 Committee that the regulations have not been complied with, or 

 that fraud or deception has been practiced or attempted. 



22. 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 of all 

 premiums awarded to the exhibitor and such further penaltj'- as the 

 Executive Committee may order.

 bedding and water will be furnished for cattle, horses and sheep,
