6y6 Agricultural Exhibitions Abroad. [nov., 



feet by two feet six inches. Some Societies may wish to retain the 

 whole of this space for the display of their Register and other publica- 

 tions, whereas others may, if they wish, make arrangements with 

 individual breeders for the display of their private cards or lists of 

 stock. The Committee propose to engage the services of an attendant 

 qualified to explain the exhibit and to give assistance to interested 

 visitors. The attendant will also be authorised to distribute the adver- 

 tisements of individual breeders who have made the necessary arrange- 

 ments with the Breed Societies. 



In order to cover the cost of the hire of space, the preparation of 

 the exhibit, the payment of attendant, &c, the Committee propose to 

 charge an inclusive fee of ^30 for each section, this sum to be paid on 

 allotment. It will be competent for Breed Societies if they think fit to 

 recoup themselves for their expense by making a charge to individual 

 breeders for the display of their cards and catalogues. The Societies 

 will also be asked to supply good photographs for enlargement of a 

 male and female animal typical of their breed, a short description of 

 the chief merits of the breed, and copies of the suggested Register of 

 Breeders for exhibition and distribution. 



All the other expenses, the enlargement of photographs, the trans- 

 lation and printing of descriptions, the framing of exhibits, carriage, 

 staging, hire of space, and payment of attendant will be defrayed by 

 the Committee. 



Applications for sections must be sent in to the Secretary of the 

 Committee, 8 Whitehall Place, London, S.W., as soon as possible, and 

 in any case not later than December 20th. In order that the Com- 

 mittee may arrange for the translation and printing of particulars 

 about the breeds, each Society is requested to supply before January 

 15th:— 



(1) A brief description of the points of the breed. 



(2) A list of the special qualities and uses of the breed. 



(3) A list of the chief markets or auction sales at which bulls, rams, 

 &c, are sold. 



Registers of breeders and breeders' notices, for distribution, should 

 be sent in to the Secretary of the Committee not later than February 

 15th next.
