Exhibitors must have their respective exhibits in place and ready for the Com-mittees when they call to make their examinations. Read carefully this rule, touching all exhibits: •Exhibits not in place, and fully installed by 12 o'clock Tuesday. October 19, will receive no attention whatever from the Awarding Committees or Experts." E.vliibifors must make themselves acquainted with the prize lisf.i and regulations, and be sure in wliat classes and departments their entries belong. The original entrj- card must in all cases be attached to the exhibit, except in case of animals, when the card may be placed conspicuously upon the stall or pen. No article will be entered in more than one Department, except where other- \\-ise provided. This rule applies to all exhibits, except those in Speed Department. Exhibitors will not be allowed to sell goods during the Fair (though they may receive and book orders) . nor will they be permitted to call attention to their wares in any noisj- or disorderly manner. Exhibits that have been erroneously entered may be transferred by applying to the Superintendent of Entries, before 12 o'clock noon, the second day of the Fair. If, however, such classes have been judged, they shall not be reopened. Persons entering live stock to be exhibited in the ring or on the track will be expected to have their stock readj- when ordered, and if not brought in promptly may be excluded from examination. No animal or article will be allowed to leave the show grounds until after _^ ye o'clock on Friday, this being a condition of the entry. TratisgreJisioiis against this rule will incur forfeiture of any premiums awarded. The Society makes no charges for space, and. except in .special instances, exacts no entrance fees ; but ten per cent of all premiums aggregating five dollars or over awarded by the Society will be retained as entrance fees, except where entrance fees are specifically charged. This is a liberal policy towards exhibitors, as no one will be required to pay unless they are awarded a premium. PROGRAM OF RACES. Entries Close October 16.

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. IlS^Correspond freely with JOHN NICHOLS, SECRETARY, RALEIGH, N. C.

SPECIAL NOTICE.��� Read carefully this rule as touching all ex-hibits : 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." PREMIUMS. 42. A premium ribbon is a badge of merit, and in no case should it be attached to article or animal where meritorious qualities are lacking. 43. The premiums are designated by ribbons : blue meaning first, red second, and white third premium. These rilibons will be attached only by the Director of each Department, or his Superintendent, after Judges or Committees have made their awards and the same have been approved by the Director. 44. The Society deems its diploma or medal to possess value equal to a cash premium of not less than ten dollars. The exhibitor en-titled to a prize equal to that amount will be at liberty to com-mute a money premium for a diploma or medal, but not the award of a diploma or medal into a money premium. 4.5. Premiums are payable thirty days after the close of the Fair, and if not claimed by the first day of February, 1898, will be re-garded as donated to the Society. 46.

Should any of the Judges previously selected fail to be present, tlie Director of each Department is authorized to select otliers to fill the vacancies, always endeavoring to select persons duly (juali-fied by their pursuits or experience to make correct awards in each special department. In all cases the Judges, before awarding any premium, will be careful to see that the requirements of the Pre-mium List have been strictly complied with by the exhibitor. 57. No person directly (.)r indirectly interested will lie allowed to serve as a Judge, and the Executive Committee will quash the awards in every case wlien a person interested has acted as Judge : nor shall a memlier of tlie Executive Committee act as judge or umpire, under any circumstances. 58.

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.
