The proprietors of the various Louis
vile warehouses will receive and store
away any tobacco intended for this exhi-
bilion, the entry fee on each hogshead be-
ing three dollars, which can be paid on the
morning of the exhibition. The ware
houses, to prevent all disappointment, have
notified the public that no sales will be
made at any of the houses on Monday and
Tuesday preceding the fair. aud the saleson
Saturday will be limited to Fifty hogshesds
at each house. while Wednesday, Thurs
day, and FRIDAY will be allotted to selling
that the am cunt of tobacco at the exhibit
that the following rules should be strictly
adopted in order to prevent confusion:
lst. Upon both ends of each hogshead
the name Of the owner must be distinctly
marked, as also the class for which it is in
tended, thus: Cutting :Shipping.' La
dies Glass; Cigar Ten BEST Hogsh eads,'
Five Best Hogsbeadst' Three Best Hogs
heads and Manufacturing
I'd. The Tobacco should be sent forward
as early in May as possible.
81. Each hogshead to weig not less than
5000 pounds, and we would suggest that it
should not weigh more than 1;400 pounds
net. fas1E Nt&
4th. The cask sh hould be su bstantiai. well
hooped, and of thoroughly seasoned timber.
5th. The classes for Five Best and
Three Best Hogsheads.' are open to Ten
nessee, Illinois. and Indiana. All the Other
classes are confined to the growth of Ken
lucky.
9th. No hogshead can take more than
one premium; the Best Priced class. how
ever, is un exception to this rule; this class,
is intended as slOeepstake. aud of course is
open to every Kentucky hogshead on exhi-
bition. sass..
7th. None other than the growth of 1863
can compete for these premiums.
1t seems to be the general impression that
his exhibition will greatly exceed in inter
est and in the quantity of the stable exhib-
tied, all the preceding fairs held under the
auspices Of the kentucky State Agricultu-
raj Society. 1t will attract large mum ber
Of purchasers from all parts of the country
and the tobacco sold will unquestionably
bring the very highest prices. In the next
seven weeks we expect our planters to be
very busy in sending forward their choicest
nogsheads for competition.
