3. Each exhibitor who sends objects to be entered in eomiaetition mnst furnish 
the Secretary with a list of the same, and state distinctly what prize each exhibit is 
entered for, whether it be one of the Begular or Special Prizes, and which particu- 
lar one. . It is not expected that any one will enter an exhibit to compete as a 
“second best,” for in every case an exhibit will receive the highest award it is 
found to deserve. At the time of the Judges’ inspection all the objects in each 
exhibit which is in competition will be placed together and labelled as “Entered 
in Competition for ,” whatever the case may be. Members must 
attend strictly to this regulation and in good season, in order to simplify the 
work of the Judges and insure proper attention to their work. 
4. Each member who enters one or more competitive exhibits must furnish 
an affidavit declaring that all the specimens in said exhibit or exhibits were 
mounted by his own hands and without skilled assistance of any kind. 
5. All freight and express charges to and from the place of exhibit will be 
met by the exhibitor; but the labor of unpacking, arranging in the hall and 
repacking will be performed by the Society without charge.* 
6. Exhibits must be promptly on hand so as to be properly placed in the hall 
in time for inspection by the Judges. Objects received while the inspection is in 
progress will be excluded from competition. 
7. Objects intended for sale shall in every case be priced in the catalogue, 
and any member of the Executive Committee may dispose of objects belonging 
to non-present members at the catalogue price by becoming personally responsi- 
ble to the Treasurer for the payment of the purchase money. No object shall 
be delivered to a purchaser without a written order from the Treasurer, nor in 
any case until the close of the exhibition. 
8. Whenever an object is sold at an exhibition, ten per cent, of the selling 
price shall be paid into the treasury of the Society. 
By order of the Executive Committee.
