|C3*'NoTE. The Trustees have varied their form of offering 

 premiums on swine the present year, believing that the improve- 

 ment of the breeds of this animal will be as well or better promot- 

 ted by giving premiums on pigs only, as in the manner formerly 

 practised. 



Oi!rNo animal will be entitled to receive more than one pre- 

 mium. Animals that have received one premium from the So- 

 ciety, will not be entitled to another, unless it be of a higher 

 order. 



Should any animals of fine quahty, be presented at the public 

 show, for exhibition, they will receive such notice from the Trus- 

 tees, as by their merits they are entitled to. And should they be 

 of extraordinary quality, such gratuities will be tendered, as may 

 reward their owners for exhibiting them. 



ft^ The Regulations to be observed at this Exhibition, will be 

 published in due season, by the Committee of Arrangements.
