 the premiums, without regard to former awards. 



All teams entered for draught must be owned by the person 

 entering the same. 



Any person competing for a premium, who shall serve on 

 the committee having charge of the department in which he com- 

 petes, shall retire from the committee while his own competition 

 is in question. 



The several committees will not consider themselves bound 

 by the terms of the above offers, to award a premium for any- 

 thing which they shall deem inferior.

 in consequence of any deception or misrepresentation used by 

 him, shall not only forfeit such premiums, but afterwards be in-

All persons, (ladies excepted,) not members of the Society, 

 to whom may be awarded a premium or premiums amounting to 

 five dollars or upward, shall receive a certificate of membership 

 for five dollars, and the balance in cash. If the amount shall 

 be less than five dollars, a deduction of fifty per cent, will be 

 made, unless the individual chooses to make the amount up to 

 that sum and receive a certificate of membership. 



All premiums not demanded on or before November joth^ will 

 revert to the Society.
