1. The necessary printed forms of certificates may be obtained from 

 the Secretary, at No. 12, Hanover Square, London, by persons who are 

 desirous of exhibiting implements, &c. 



2. No implement will be admitted for exhibition unless the necessary 

 certificates, filled in on the printed form prescribed, complete, and 

 signed by the exhibitor (or his agent), in the manner directed have 

 been delivered to the Secretary, or sent (postage free), directed to him 

 so as to reach No. 12, Hanover Square, on or before the First or May, 

 1848 (any additional particulars or specifications of such implements 

 need not be dehvered until the 1st of June, 1848). For the satisfaction 

 of Exhibitors, the Secretary will take an early opportunity of acknow- 

 ledging the due receipt and registration of such certificates. 



3. A description of each article intended to be shown must be written 

 on one side only of the certificate ; it must state the name and address 

 (when they are known) of the inventor, the improver, and the manu- 

 facturer : it must also detail the improvements (if any), peculiarities, 

 &c., of each implement. 



4. The certificate must state the space each exhibitor will probably 

 require (the sheds being 20 feet wide), in order that the Director or 

 Stewards may apportion the standing-room among the various parties 

 who make application. 



5. The certificate must state the lowest selling price of each article ; 

 and each Exhibitor shall be bound to execute all orders given him in 

 the Show Yard, at the price stated in his certificate. 



6. If an article is intended to compete for the prize offered for any- 

 new agricultural implement, it must be entered as such in the certificate. 



7. If a prize or medal has been awarded at a previous meeting of the 

 Society, to any implement which is entered for exhibition at York, 

 the certificate must state whether it was a prize or medal, or both, and 

 the date at which it was awarded ; if a prize, the amount must be stated. 



8. If any improvement has been made in the implement subsequently 

 to that award, a description and drawing of the improvement must 

 accompany the certificate. 



9. Persons who intend to send their own horses and driver to work 

 in the field, must declare, in the certificate, their intention of doing so; 

 otherwise they will not be entitled to the remuneration stipulated in 

 Rule 25.

 tended to be exhibited, a fine of 55. on Implements under 10/. in value, 

 and a fine of 10^. on Implements of 10/. and upwards in value, will be 

 charged on each Implement entered and not exhibited, unless a Cer- 

 tificate shall be sent to the Secretary on or before the day of Exhibition, 

 that the non-exhibition is caused by unavoidable accident.
