NINTH ANNUAL, REPORT OF THE 



judge cannot get around it without 

 making a downrig'ht, square injustice. 

 I expect iie can do that anyway, if he 

 has a mind to, hut the idea for us here 

 tonight is to word the thing so that 

 the exhibitors themselves, and the 

 judges present, will feel there is no 

 dhance of making a mistake. I would 

 take each one of those premiums sep- 

 arately, and pass upon them; some of 

 you may have objection ^to some one 

 clause; if you are all of a mind, it 

 will be quickly done. Take the words, 

 "Display of Designs in Beeswax:" To 

 tell you the truth, df I saw one .big 

 design, and it was far better than half 

 a dozen little ones, I wouRd give that 

 the premium. 



Mr. Pyles — I move the Secretary read 

 these premiiums one at a time, and ac- 

 tion be taken on them. 



Motion seconded, and carried. 



1st. A Full Colony of Bees of any 

 Race — in Observatory Hive — $5.00, 

 $3.00, $2.00. 



Mr. Becker — ^What is tihe premium to 

 be on — the hive, on the Taees, or on the 

 comb? If it is on the comb, shooild it 

 be filled combs, half combs, or quarter 

 comibs? Wlhat is the premium to "be 

 on? 



Mr. Dadant — If there were four or 

 five exlhibitors, and one of themi had a 

 good colony. In good shape, I think I 

 would give tJhat one the premium. If 

 others were only part of colonies, that 

 should be taken into consideration. 



Mr. "Werner — I think it ought to be 

 a full colony, in working order. 



Carried. 



2d. Carried, that the words, "with 

 queen," should he added to numbers 

 2404, 2405, 2406 of the above named 

 premium ilist. 



That an addition shouM also be made 

 to the list, as follows: One Frame 

 ObserVatory Hive, of Caucasian, with 

 queen, $4.00, $3.00, and $2.00. 



A Menaber — I wooald amend that by ' 

 making it, one nucleus hive, same as 

 Colden, Italian, Carniolan, and Leather 

 Colored. 



Mr. Dadant — ^We made It read ex- 

 actly as on the ipaper. 



The motion was seconded, carried, 

 and adopted. 



Mr. Stone — That No. 2400, on ex- 

 tracting honey on the grounds, read: 

 "Honey extracted on the grounds, ex- 

 ecution and explanation considered." 

 (Adopted.) 



That No. 2408 read: '"Display of 

 design in comb honey executed hy the 

 bees under the control of the apiarist." 



Mr. York — Why the (word "display?" 

 Why not simply say "design?" 



Mr. Dadant — The word is "dispilay" 

 in 'both cases. 



Mr. York — Everytlhing is on display; 

 I should think it would be simply 

 "design." I move to take out "display 

 of" in both places. (Carried.) 



That the letter "s" be removed from 

 the word "designs" in :Premdum 2409. 



Mr. Dadant — ^We will have to change 

 that if we want to take out the words 

 "display of." 



That Premium 2409 sihould read, 

 "Design in Beeswax." 



Mr. York — Do you mean to have just 

 one design in beeswax from one ex- 

 hibitor? Heretofore nearly every ex- 

 hibitor had a number of things made 

 of beeswax. 



Mr. Stone — ^The premium should be 

 on "design" in beeswax. 



Mr. Dadant — At the World's Fair we 

 had one design that cost us three 

 weeks of labor, and if somebody had had 

 three designs^ under this ruling, it 

 would ihave 'beaten us. 



Mr. Becker — It doesn't look to me 

 as if you have got this really right; 

 you exihibit just one article and noth- 

 ing else. It seems to me that the 

 Bee-Keepers' Association doesn't tell a 

 man what he shall ex^iibit; he should 

 know what he can get a premium 

 on and what Ihe can't. If he wants to 

 make a half dozen designs, he should 

 have the privilege. If one man's ex- 

 hibit is considered better than another, 

 he should get the premium. 



Mr. Dadant — I move that we change 

 the wording to "Design or Designs in 

 Beeswax." 



Mr. Pyles — If you wish to offer a pre- 

 miium. for the best horse, you would 

 not hinder a man from exhibiting just 

 as .many horses as he wanted to, not 

 only one horse; but, of course, the one 

 horse that is the best would get the 

 premium. One design in heeswax, if 

 the best, will iget the premium, al- 

 though you may have a dozen. 



President Kildow — I think the ex- 

 planation Mr. Pyle gives Is all right. 

 We may have four, five, or more ; we 

 may have three good ones, and one 

 would be considered better than the 

 others; we get the premium only on 

 design, after all. ,
