make the exhibition a ere lit to the city
and county
Secretary Williams has prepared the
following advice to exhibitors:
As there may be some who are not
familiar with the method of exhibiting
articles at the fair, and how the awards
are made, a few remarks on the subject
will not be out of place.
In order to increase the improbabilitv
of your getting a premium, the articles
to be exhibited should be selected as
long as possible before the fair carefully
examined and put into the most pre-
sentable form. If it IS live stock, they
should be groomed and cleaned and
made to have the most attractive APP
pearance. Too many exhibitors fail be-
cause they have not been as careful az
their competitors to add to the natural
merit of their articles or ANIMALS by an
artificial preparation.
When the fair opens the exhibits
should be taken TO the grounds. When
YOU have arrived you should proceed
to the secretary's Office and make Your
entries. This is done By enumerating
the list of things YOU have, while the
entry clerk makes record of them and
prepares Tor you an entry tag to be at

Will make the best possible appearance
Before leaving see that your entry tags
are securely attached to the proper
articles, as otherwise they may not re-
ceiye notice.
The awards are made by proper
committee. The secretary prepares for
them committee book, showing the
entry numbers for each article or ami
NAL. The entry tags do not disclose the
names Of the owners of articles to which
they are attached. but are numbered.
The awarding committee first looks
