All owners or managers of horses entered at the Fair are requested to call at the Supt. of Horse Dept's office on their first entering the grounds. In the several classes of American Trotting-Bred Horses, and of pure-bred French Coach, Hackney, Clydesdale, English Shires, Suffolk Punches, and Percherons, the breeding must be fully indicated on the score card, and with the pure bloods a certificate of the same should be presented to the judge. No credit or premium will be given for pedigree or otherwise unless the breeding be indicated on the entry cprd. The sire of the dam must be given as well E-s the grandsire on the male side; also the breeding of the grand dams on both sides, if possi- ble. In no other way can credit for pedigree value be figured accurately. "Dam, a Messenger" or "Said to be a Knox," carries no value, and can have no credit. Any attempt at deception or fraud will bar the entire exhibit of an individual from competition. Ex- hibitors are urged to note on entry cards records won by sire or dam, or other of their offspring. The judges in making up their awards, shall have the right to call out any horse to harness (that is brok- en to harness), though it be stated that his class is to be shown to halter. In case two animals in the same class score the same and the highest number of points they will be considered equal, and the first and second premiums will be divided equally between the two. If the first premium is awarded without such a contest, and if in competition for the second premium, two or more of the contestants score the same and the highest number of points, the second premium will be divided equally between such competitors.

Exhibitors of pet stock must furnish ' satisfactory coops for their exhibit or rent them of the Association, 25 cents.

Arrangements may be made with the superintendent to feed and care for stock at the expense and risk of the owner, but such arrangement should be made at least a week before the Fair. The management will take every precaution for their safe keeping while on exhi- bition, but will not be responsible for loss or damage. The borrowing of stock, or buying to return after the Fair, must be stopped, and any person detected in such practice will be barred from the show and all premiums awarded him withheld.
