ground, in their appropriate places and
properly ticketed, by 8 O'clock A. M. on
the second day Of the Fair.
No animal will be allowed to be entered
for competition in any but one class; pro-
vided, however, that this rule shall not ex-
clude from competition in the Trotting
Match or in any class Of Sweep Stakes.
Any person entering any animal for
competition in the Trotting Match class or
in any class Of Sweep Stakes, shall, on
making the entry thereof with the Seere-
tary of the Society, pay to said Secretary
an amount equal to ten per cent. on the
amount Of the first premium in the class
in which the said animal is entered for
competition.
Farming implements manufactured and
animals bred and owned out of the State
will not be entitled to compete for premi-
ums, nor will any person be entitled to a

Any article included in classes " A A."
Abb" &C c." IF F." and &C c. will

The Executive Committee will hold a

Fair Ground, at 81 o'clock A. M. precisely,
on the second day of the Fair, when and
where all the judges selected to award pre-
miums are requested to report themselves
for duty; at which time and place they
will be furnished with list of entries in
their respective classes. The entries will
all be duly numbered and the awards will
be made and reported by the judges with
reference to the numbers.
1t will be the duty of the judges to
withhold premiums in all cases where they
may consider the animal or article un-
worthy, whether there be any competition
or not.
The judges are requested to hand their
report of awards to the Secretary at his
office at or before one o'clock p. NJ. on
the last day of the Fair.
Immediately after the announcement of
the awards,-which will be about two
o'clock P. H., on the last day of the Fair
--an address will be delivered by the Hon.
J. Allen Barber.
After the address, premiums will be paid
BY the Treasurer at bis office to such as
may apply and be entitled thereto.
Persons entitled to premiums are re-
quested, on making application to the
Treasurer therefor, to present to him the
entry card of the animal or article that
drew the premium, Attention TO this re-
quest will expedite the payment as well as
mitigate the Iabors of the Treasurer.
No animal or article entered for exhibi-
ton will be allowed to be removed from
the Fair Grounds prior to 5 o'clock p. Nj.
on the last day Of the Fair, without the
consent of the Superintendent.
Exhibitors are requested to give partic-
uIar attention to their articles and stock on
exhibition. The Superintendent will use
every precaution for the safe keeping of the
same but the Society will not be held re-
sponsible for any damage or accident that
may occur.
Sheds, stalls and enclosures will be pro-
yided on the Fair Grounds as far as posi-
bic, for the protection, comfort and secur-
ity of animals on exhibition.
Forage and water will also be supplied
by the General Superintendent for all ami
mails on exhibition, free Of charge; grain
furnished to persons desiring the same at
cost prices.
No person will be permitted to run any
horse on the track, or in any part Of the
Fair Grounds, during the Fair, under any
pretense whatever.
The Fair Grounds will be cleared at
o'clock P. M. of each day of all persons
who have not written permit from the
Chief Of Police, or from the General SUI
perintendent Of the Fair Grounds,
The retail and sale of ardent spirits will
be excluded from the Fair Grounds and
from the streets, roads and other grounds
adjacent thereto, during the continuance OF
the Fair; also, the trade and traffic of all
other articles will be excluded, except SO
far IS the same may be authorized by the
Superintendent of the Fair Grounds.
1t is, we believe, a very general impress
sion that, Amidst the hurry and confusion
incident to the competition days Of our
Fairs, little or no opportunity is afforded
for those interchanges Of thought and ex-
changes of seeds and stock, which appear
SO necessary to the carrying out of the
original design of such associations.
All persons, then, DESTROYS OF buying,
selling or exchanging Of stock, seeds, inn
plements, &C., are requested to continue in
the occupancy Of the Fair Grouns under
the supervision Of the Superintendent, cur
ing Friday the 20th-=the day Immediately
succeeding the Fair,-fcr the purpose Of
making such sales, purchases Or exchanges
as to each may seem advantageous.
This IS new feature in our Fair, and is
suggested by your committee, under the
impression that such an opportunity will
he eagerly embraced by a very large class
of our citizens, as channel though
which great mutual benefits may flow.
