ARTICLE IX. 



Each horse shall receive an equal quantity of food, and in 

 case an}'^ member shall desire a larger quantity given his horse, 

 he shall be charged with the same ; but no allowance shall be 

 made for feeding less than the regular quantity. If any mem- 

 ber shall remove his horse for any time exceeding one week, 

 an allowance for feed shall be made on his assessment, pro- 

 vided he gives the caterer notice at the time the horse leaves 

 and returns. 



ARTICLE X. 



No horse having a contagious disease will be allowed in the 

 stable, and it shall be the duty of the owner of said horse to 

 remove him as soon as the same is known, and should he 

 refuse, a meeting of the members shall be called by the caterer, 

 when steps shall be taken for his immediate removal, and at 

 the next regular meeting the said member shall be expelled. 



ARTICLE XI. 



In order to settle misunderstandings between two members 

 in matters appertaining to the stable, each shall choose a 

 member of the association, by whom a third shall be chosen, 

 who shall act as arbitrators, and after an impartial hearing 

 of the matter in dispute, their decision shall be binding. 



ARTICLE XII. 



Any person wishing to resign from the association shall 

 give written notice to the caterer at least one week prior to 

 the regular meeting, and then, if his proportion of expenses be 

 fully paid, his resignation shall be accepted, and the stall dis- 

 posed of by the association to such party as may after 



weeks previous to the regular meeting receive two-thirds of the 

 votes of the members present, thereby becoming a member.
