EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS. 
19. No animal can be removed from its place without being subject to 
a tine of £1, nor can it be taken out of the Show-Yard, without leave in 
writing from the Director or the Stewards of the Cattle Yard. 
20. Exhibitors will be charged £1 for each Cow sent into the Receiving 
Yard, to supply milk for animals exhibited. 
21. In order to prevent the non exhibition of animals which have been 
entered for the Show, thus causing unnecessary preparations, expense, and 
the disarrangement of the Show-Yard, a fine of lOs. will be levied for each 
entry of Stock not exhibited, unless a Certificate under the hand of the Ex- 
hibitor, or his authorised agent, be lodged with the Secretary of the Society 
at least fourteen days before the day of exhibition, certifying that such non- 
exiiibition is caused either by :—(1) The death of the animal or animals; or 
(2) contagious or infectious disease (confirmed by the explanatory Certificate 
of a veterinary surgeon). All persons who shall neglect to pay in due course 
the stated fines incurred for non-exhibition, shall be debarred from exhibit - 
ing at the future Country Meetings of the Society. 
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DIRECTOR AND STEWARDS. 
1. The Director and Stewards are instructed to take care that no 
Member of Council, Governor, or Member of the Society, Stranger, or Ex¬ 
hibitor, be admitted into the Cattle Yard, under any pretence whatever, 
until the Show-Yard is open to the public. 
2. The Council delegates full power to the Director and Stewards to 
enforce all the above Regulations. 
o. As soon as the Judges shall, in each case, have made their decision 
of an award, the Prize Animal shall be distinguished as the winner by dif¬ 
ferent coloured Prize Cards. 
4. The Director and Stewards of the Yard are requested to report to the 
Secretary the names of all persons who shall have failed to exhibit their 
Stock entered for the Show. 
5. The Stewards of the Cattle Yard shall report to the Council annually 
their observations on the Exhibition of Stock. 
PROTESTS. 
The Stewards will be instructed to endeavour, if possible, to decide all 
protests that may be made against the awards of the Judges at the Metro¬ 
politan Show, before the conclusion of the Meeting ; such protests must be 
delivered to the Stewards, at the Director’s Office, in the Show-Yard, before 
Six o’clock on the Thursday evening of the Show-week; and no protest will 
be subsequently received, unless satisfactory reasons be assigned for the 
delay. 
Cheques for the Prizes awarded at this Meeting of the Society 
will be drawn at the first Monthly Council held in London after the Show; 
and when duly prepared, registered, and signed, in accordance with the 
terms of the Bye-Laws, will be forwarded by post to the Exhibitors, to 
whom they have been awarded.
