more favorable locality could not we'll
nave been selected, for Gardiner NAV he
justly characterized as the center Of the f,,;,
growing region of the Kennebec. The rocky
nils Of Hallowell, Gardiner, and the sur.
rounding towns, have long been celebrated
perhaps equally. for their granite and their
fruits. But this is State society. and ono
must not loose sight of the fact of there be;no
large field for competition. Yet, taking
INTO consideration the increased facilities
nome exhibitors have for getting their pro-
auctions to the ground, we shall be .om.-
what surprised if Kennebec county does not
come forward at the awarding of premiums.
In this connection, it will be of interest to
the general public to be informed Of certain
REGULATIONS TO ExHIBIroRs
which will be strictly complied with in the
awarding Of premiums
Exhibitors are requested to present full
and accurate lists Of the varieties of fruit or
| other articles to be entered
| All fruits and flowers offered for premiums
must have been grown by the exhibitor;
| any violation of this rule will debar or for
felt the premium. Specimens offered for ex.
hibition only, by others than the growers.
must in all cases have the name of the grow
er affixed, if known
No premium will be awarded merely for
want of competition, nor unless the article
exhibited be worthy of it; and the commit
tees are authorize to withhold the first and
award the second or any subsequent premi-
um. or none, at their discretion, according to
the rules, or where any unfair practice has
been attempted by exhibitor.
All premiums awarded will be payable by
the treasurer in thirty days after the close Of
the exhibition.
The fee for annual membership to this

minor children to all exhibitions of the Socie-
