GENERAL REGULATIONS.
Any person climbing the fence or enter
ing the Fair grounds in any way without
proper ticket or pass, will be fined one dol
lar and expelled from the grounds.
Transfer of tickets, pushing them thro'
the fence for the assistance of dead-heads,
is dishonest. mean and villainous, base
fraud upon the Society, and will be pun
ished. No gentleman will smut his repu-
tation by such cheap infamy.
Persons wishing to pass through the
gate will hand their ticket to the Gate.
keepers that they may be properly check
ed, before entering or leaving the enclos-
ure.
It is expected that all visitors will def
nitely understand the rules of admission,
and purchase proper tickets and give as
little occasion as possible for personal con-
troversy at the gates. The receipts Of the
Fair are for the good of every family in
the County, and no one in particular.
We wish it to be distinctly understood,
that the State Statutes contained in Sec.
tons 2, and 4, Chap. 100, Laws of 1864,
will be enforced during the exhibition.
Premiums will be paid at the Secreta-
ry's Office on Friday the 9th, commenc-
ing at 2 o'clock, p. m. Should the receipts
Of the Fair be inadequate to pay premiulnS
in full, pro rata dividend will be paid,
which shall cancel the obligations against
the Society.
Persons who have been honorably ap-
pointed to discharge the duty of Judges at
the approaching Fair, should consider that
much doponda npnn thoir punctuality and
fidelity to business to make the Fair pass
off satisfactorily and successfully.
All persons named as Judges, and who
cannot serve Us such, are expected to noti-
fy the Secretary at least week before the
Fair, that their places may be supplied and
vacancies filled by the proper officers.
COMMITTEES are particularly instructed to
give only First and Second Premium to
similar contributions. It is your duty to
decide which is the first and second best,
and let your record show accordingly. 1t
is useless to confer third premium, or
two first premiums. Such course pro-
duces temporary satisfaction to competit-
ors, but much subsequent ill-feeling and
disappointment, when they all come to
draw their Premium money, as each own.
er claims a Premium, and as only one is
allowed, dissatisfaction is the result.
No person shall act rs Judge who il in
any manner interested in the award, and
persons violating this rule, or seeking to
obtain premium by improper interfer-
ence with the Judges, shall be excluded
from competition.
Committees will be careful to examine
everything entered, and report according
ly, all the committee should sign the re.
port, and hand it to the Secretary as soon
as made out.
Members of committees reporting them.
selves at the Trcasurer's Office will receive
proper attention, and free passes during
the exhibition.
All members Of committees will meet a,
the Secretary's Office, thirty minutes before
the time appointed for the examination oi
their respective classes, to receive theil
books, instructions, &c.
