SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The North Carolina State Agricultural Society takes pleasure in offering to
exhibitors the Premium List of its Thirty-seventh Annual Fair.
The State Fair of 18!t7 promises to excel even the usually successful Fairs of last
year and the years pre\ious thereto. Manj- improvements are being made this year
in the way of beautifying the grounds and improving the Race Track—admittedly
one of the finest in the Soutli. Transportation facilities will be adequate to every
demand. The Southern and the Seaboard Air Line will run special trains, landing
passengers within a short distance of the main gate. A regular train will be run
every fifteen minutes between Union Depot in the city and the Fair Grounds, and
the Electric Cars will be run from the city to the grounds on a five-minute schedule.
Those who prefer hacks or private carrirges will have the pleasure of driving over
the finest macadamized road in North Carolina.
To exhibitors we would say that the Fair authorities will treat them hospitably
and fairly.
In the following pages will be found the substatial inducements offered to the
Agriculturist. Breeder and Manufacturer to exhibit their products. Their interest
and co-operation are wanted, and their correspondence is earnestly solicited. The
premiums are so proportioned as to guarantee the expenses of the majority of worthy
exhibitors and splendidly reward those who excel. It is the privilege of a North
Carolinian to exhibit for personal satisfaction, but it it is a duty to exhibit for the
benefit of the State-at-large.
ATTRACTIONS.
A special object this year will be to secure and exhibit the products of the State
on a larger scale than ever before attempted, and to make the exhibit a great object-lesson
for the people. No effort will be spared to make this feature more noteworthy
and successful than it has ever heretofore been. The purpose is to have such pro-ducts
displayed in competition for prizes as well as otherwise. Such competition
broadens the market for the producer, gives an impetus to trade through the simple
exhibition of trade's possibilities, and tends to the growth in excellence of everything
involved in the contest.
AN INDEX TO NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIES.
Always anxious to add .something new and attractive to the
exhibits of our Annual State Fairs, the management for this year
propose to adopt a new feature—one they feel sure will be both
interesting and instructive to visitors. To make this proposed new
feature of the Fair a success, they must have the hearty co-opera-tion
of tho.se interested and who will be its greatest beneficiaries.
It is propcsed to secure if possible a small exhibit, or the exhibit
of some small article, from every manufacturing establishment in
the State. These articles will all be properly labeled and arranged
in a division in the main building, to be known as an "Index to
North Carolina Industries." It matters not how small the article,
all will receive the same attention. Of course some exhibitors may
wish to have a displa}' of their own. So much the better if they do;
we have ample room for all.
PRIVATE SALES.
Exhibitors will be permitted to mark "For Sale"' anj' article exhibited, after the
Judges have made their awards ; but if any article is so marked before the awards
have been made, it will be ruled out and not permitted to compete for premiums.
|J^"And no article for which a premium has been awarded vnll be allowed to be
removed until the close of the Fair, without special permission of the Superinten-dent
in charge. A violation of this rule will justify a forfeiture of premium.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
AUCTION SALES.
On Friday of Fair Week there will be a public auction of such
Horses, Cattle, Sheep. Swine, Poultry, Machinery and other articles
as exhibitors may wish to dispose of. This will afford a fine oppor-tunity
for disposing- of surplus stock, etc.. at good prices, while it
enables purchasers to olitaiii just what they want, without having
inferior stock and other artit^los imposed on them.
We believe this will be one of the most attractive features of the
Fair.
Exhibitors who may wish to avail themselves of these sales will
furnish a list of such stock, articles, etc.. as they wish to sell, to the
Secretar}' not later than Tuesday evening. These lists will be cata-logued
and printed for the benefit of bidders. The only charge will
be the auctioneer's fees.
RAILROAD RATES, ETC.
The railroads have promised to give us the very lowest rates possible, and we are
sure that they will l^e so reasonable that no one can object.
Full freight rates will be charged on all exhibits from shipping point to Raleigh.
Exhibits will be returned to shipping point free of charge when accompanied by a
certificate from the Secretary to the effect that thej- were properly entered and ex-hibited
at the Fair. This provision does not apply to racing stock.
Arrangements have been rnade to have all bulky exhibits (except live-stock)
delivered at the grounds by the railroads.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Various improvements will be made in buildings, stables, stalls, pens, etc., for the
convenience of exhibitors and stock.
RACES.
The large and increasing interest in the development of tlioroughbred harness and
trotting horses in the State now insures the possibilitj' of having a large field of fine
and speedy horses on the race circuit this year, and the Society will seek to eclipse
all former efforts in this department. Classes, programmes and purses will be fur-nished
on application. The race-track is the finest in the South.

: Exhibits not in place, and fully Installed by 1 2 o'clock Tuesday,
October I 9. will receive no attention whatever from the Awarding Com-mittees
or Experts.
This is but just to lioth exhibitors and management—more so to exhibitors. The
prime object of all exhibits is to show them to the public. Provisions are made
for, and exhibitors should have, five full days in which to do this. The manage-ment
should fulfil its pledge to give four days' exhibition.
P' Exliibitors can have the use of halls and grounds for any reasonable number of
days preceding opening day proper in which to place their exhibits. There is no
good reason for delay. Hence it is repeated, this rule will be rigidly enforced "for
the good of all concerned."

it be attached to article or animal where meritorious qualities are
lacking.

only by the Director of each Department, or his Superintendent,

that your entry tags are properly made out and securely placed in a conspicuous
place on the pens.
rules; governing judges.
Judges on sheep are expressly instructed that it is their duty, in every case, to
require from each exhibitor in lots of pure breeds satisfactory evidence of purity
of breeding, as claimed : and Judges, when awarding a premium in any such lots,
will be vinderstood to say by such award that (in their opinion) the animals receiv-ing
the premium are, beyond a reasonable doubt, purely bred as claimed.
They are further instructed that if they shall have good reason to lielieve that any
exhibitor, by false entry or otherwise, attempts to deceive the Judges or the public
and obtain a premium by misrepresentation, they shall report the fact at once to
the Superintendent of the Sheep Department, who shall immediately instruct the -
Judges that such exhibitor is henceforth excluded from competition at this Fair.
All ewes three years old and over shall have suckled this season.
All sheep offered for competition must be accompanied with an affidavit to the
effect that they have been shorn since April 1, 1896, and the date of shearing must
be given.
Flocks and pens of sheep must be owned by one individual or previously existing
firm.

CS"Read the rules carefully and comply strictly.
All entries in Fruit and Vegetable classes must be made b}' the growers, and all
fruits must be of State growth. All entries in Manipulated" Fruit and Vegetable
classes must be by those who manipulated the same.
Entries in Tool and Package classes may be by manufacturer or retailer, and need
not be of State manufacture. Entries in Nursery class open to State-grown plants
only.
"Plates of fruit"' means that the fruit is to be placed upon wooden plates, which will
be furnished bj- the Secretary. Each plate is to contain six specimens, and no more.
Each plate of fruit must be plainly and correctly named, and the entrj- tag attached
to the same, so that the entry can be identified by the committee without difficulty.
Plates entered for the single plate premiums are all to be arranged by themselves,
and not mixed up with those entered for general collections. A premium offered
for a general collection of fruit will not be awarded to a mere pile of apples or other
fruit, but must be for a real coflection, arranged on plates of six each and all correctly
labelled, and no fruit will be counted in a collection vmless it is a fair specimen of
the variety. Xo trash fruit of any kind will counted merely to make up a collec-tion.
A premium for the best collection of grapes, peaches, or any other fruit, will
not be awarded to a mere number, but tfi the quality of the exhibit mainly. Brandies
and wines must be in sealed and neatly labelled bottles. The committee will with-hold
premiums in any case where there is no competition and the article is of in-ferior
quality, and no second premium will be given solely because there is no other
exhibit but the two. but all fruits must be of good quality. No attention will be
paid by the committee to any fruit or other exhibit tliat is not arranged in accord-ance
with these rules The awards for fruits will be made on the afternoon of the
second daj' of the Fair, and all not then in place will be left out. No exhibitor will
be allowed to di.scuss exhibits with the committee, or to interfere in any way while
the committee is at work. If the exhibits are not so arranged that the committee
can find all without help, they will be left out in the award. To avoid all unneces-sary
walking to and fro on the part of the judges, the fruit exhibits must be ar-ranged
in consecutive space near together, and not scattered all about the buildings.
The same rule will apply to the exhibits of bottled liquors and canned goods.
In the exhibits of exotic plants in pots, the plants competing for each premium
must be arranged by themselves, as the judges will not hunt among a mass of plants
to find the ones competing for sjjecial premium, and no plants in the professional
class \\'ill be awarded a premiuui. unless it is a well-grown specimen of its kind.
The premium for the twelve liest cut roses is held to mean twelve vaiieties. each in
a separate bottle, with label attached giving the correct name of the variety. In
the premium tor the best and largest assortment of cut.flowers. each variety must
be shown in a separate bottle of water, or other vessel, to show them properly and
keep them fresh, and no notice will be taken of collections hxisely thrown on the
tables. In the premiums for the best boquet. ba.sket and floral design, attention
will be given as much, or more, to the tasteful arrangement than to the particular
kinds of flowers used.
In the nomenclature of fruits tlie names adopted by the American Pomological
Society \vill rule, and no variety will be accepted that has not been admitted to their
catalogue, except in the case of seedlings never before exhibited. A pile of fruit
brought for sale merely, will not be allowed to count in a general collection of fruit,
as all fruit shown for |ireniiums must be arranged on plates, and remain on them
till the close of the Fair.
