SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The North Carolina State Agricultural Society takes pleasure in ofiEering to
exhibitoi-s the Premium List of its Thirtj'-sixth Annual Fair.
The State Fair of 1890 promises to excel even the usually successful Fairs of last
year and the years previous thereto. Many improvements are being made this year
in the way of beautifying the grounds aud impio^-ing the Race Tiaok—admittedly
one of the iinest in the South. Transportation facilities will be adequate to every
demand. The Southern and the Seaboard Air-Line ^vill 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 Fail' Grounds, and
the Electric Cars will be run from the city to the grounds on a five-minutes schedule.
Those who prefer hacks or jjrivate carriages will have the pleasui-e 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 substantial inducements offered to the
Agriculturist, Breeder and JIanufactuier to exhibit their products. Their interest
and co-operation are wanted, aud 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 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 jn'oducts 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 tliis feature more
noteworthy and successful than it has ever heretofore been. The purpose is to
have such products displayed in competition for prizes as well as other%vise. Such
competition broadens the market for the producer, gives an imi5etus to trade tlu-ough
the simple exhibition of trade's possibilities, and tends to the gro%rth 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 at our Annual State Fairs, the management for this year
propose to adopt a new feature—one that they feel sure will be both
' interesting and instructive to visitors. To make tliis proposed new
feature of the Fair a success, they must have the hearty co-opera-tion
of those interested, aud who will be its greatest beneficiaries.
It is proposed to secure, if possible, a small exhibit or the exhibit
of some small article from every manufactvu'ing estabUshment 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.
aU win receive the same attention. Of course some exhibitors may
wish to have a display of theii- own. So much the better if they do;
we have ample room for all.
PRIVATE SALES.
Exhibitors wiU be permitted to mark "For Sale" any article exliibited. after the
Judges have made their awards: but if any article is so marked before the awards
have been made, it vrill be ruled out and not permitted to compete for premiums.
5^"And no article for which a premium has been awarded will 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 ivill justify a forfeiture of premium.
4 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 maj' 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 obtain just what they want without having
inferior stock and other articles imposed on them.
We believe this will be one of the most attractive features of the
•Fair.
Exhibitors whe may wish to avail themselves of these sales will
furnish a list of such stock, articles, etc., as they wish to sell, to the
Secretary not later than Tuesday evening. These lists will be cata-logiied
and printed for the benefit of bidders. The only charge will
be the auctioneer's fees.
RAILROAD RATES, ETC.
Tlie railroads have promised to give us the verj' lowest rates possible, and we are
sure that they will be 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 they were properly entered and
exhibited at the Fair. This provision does not apply to racing stock.
Arrangements have been made 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 exliibitors and stock.
PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS.
As far as practicable. Premiums awarded by the Society, over
which there is no contest, will be paid at the Treasurer's ofiSce on
Friday at 13 o'clock. Tliis is a new departure, but one that the
management feels sure will meet with the hearty approval of
exhibitors.
RACES.
The large and increasing interest in tlie development of thoroughbred harness
and trotting horses in the State now insures the possibility of having a large field
of fine and speedy horses on the race circuit this j^ear, and the Society will seek to
eclipse all former efforts in this department. Classes, programmes and purses will
be announced about August 15. The race-track is the finest in the South.

REGULATIONS.
1. Until within the last two or three years, the management lias confined com-petition
to productions of our own State. The bars were then thrown down, and
competition with us was opened to the world and friendly challenge extended,
except in instances specified.
2. The gates will be open for the admission of -risitors at 8 o'clock a. m. each day,
and close at 6 p. m.
3. All emploj'ees of the Fair must be prompth- on hand at their posts at 8 o'clock
A. M. each day of the Fair, and remain on duty till 6 o'clock p. m. (except night
force).
4. Every reasonable effort will be made by the officers of the Society and those
in charge of the grounds to protect the property on exhibition from loss or damage,
but the Society will not hold itself responsible should loss or damage occur.
5. Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language, also gam-bling,
pool-selling or other games of chance will not be allowed on the grounds: nor
fireworks, petroleum, gunpowder or any other objectionable or dangerous material
whatever.
6. Persons desiring space for the exhibition of articles or machinery not entered
for competition, must apply to the Secretary as early as possible, giving the name
of the exhibitor and article, place of residence and the amount of space requii-ed.
7. Exhibitor.s of horse.s, cattle, sheep and swine will be required to display over
each stall or pen occupied by their stock a placard containing the name, age and
breed of animal occupying the stall or jsen, and also the name and address of the
owner. The placard will be furnished and filled up at the Secretary's office.
8. All oflioers and emploj'ees are requested to wear badges during the Fair, while
on the grounds.
9. No peddling, hawking or selling of any kind will be allowed in the buildings
or on the grounds, except by a special license obtained from the Secretary of the
Society.
10. The distribution of handbills or other advertisements that may cause a nui-sance
is strictly prohibited about the grounds or buildings.
11. No article or animal will be entitled to space until the proper entry has been
made. After an article or animal has been entered for a premium, it cannot be
removed until the close of the Fair without permission from the Secretary or the
Supervisor in charge of the department; and if any person removes an article or
an animal without such permission, he forfeits all claims to a premium, even if the
same may have been awarded.
13. Each department will be under the special charge of one member of the
Executive Committee, who shall be known as the Director of that department. He
will oversee the arrangement of all articles offered for exhibition in his department,
and have control of the space assigned to it. He will be assisted in his duties by a
special superintendent, who will receive all exhibits, take personal charge of them,
countersign the exhibitor's coupons, and deliver the articles on the surrender of the
countersigned coupons at the close of the Fair.
13. The exhibition of articles not mentioned in the Premium List is solicited.
These will be assigned to isrojier departments, displayed to visitors, and reporte<l on
by the judges.
14. The Executive Committee reserves the right to withhold premiums in any
case in wliich it shall appear to them that the regulations have not been complied
with, or that fraud or deception have been practiced or attempted.
1.5. There will be a free Bureau of Information at the main office, where all ques-tions
will be cheerfully answered.
IG. Exhibitors must provide, at their own cost, all show-cases, shelvings, coun-ters,
fittings, etc, which they may require.
17. Exhibitors' business cards, pamphlets, circulars, samples, etc., may be placed,
and be distributed from, within the space allotted them.

holding permits, which must be secured from the Secretary.
23. SPECIAL RULE.—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 spe-cifically
charged. This is a liberal policy towards exhibitors, as no one
will be required to pay unless they are awarded a premium.
ENTRIES.
34. The entry-books will be open at the office of the Secretary of the Society, in
the city of Raleigh, from September 15th to and including the Friday next before
Fair Week, and at the Secretary's office at the Fair Grounds on Saturday and until
13 o'clock II. on Tuesday, when all entries will close. Much trouble and annoyance
may be avoided by observing this regulation.
35. Entries may be made in person or by letter. In making entries it will be
necessary to give the name of the article, the name and post-office address of the
exliibitor and the premium number under which the article entered is to compete.
This is especially necessary, in order that the article may be properly entered.
36. All articles which are the product of the soil must be entered in the name of
the producer. Those showing handiwork or skill must be entered in the name
of the one whose skill they exhibit. Such may be individuals, firms or factories.
They must have been made within three years, and not exhibited at any former
Fair of this Society. All other property must be entered in the name of the .\ctual
OWNER. Any violation of this rule wiU bar the violator from competing for any
premium whatever, and render him and his exhibit liable to expulsion from the
grounds.
27. In case special facilities for meritorious exhibits are required, such entries
shall be made before October 1st. Any person maj' enter as many different articles
as he or she may own, in any department.
38. The same article or animal cannot compete for the premiums of two or more
premimn numbers, except when otherwise stated in the head-notes of the depart-ment
in which it is exhibited.
29. All entries will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper Depart-ment
and Class, and corresponding tags will be issued, which must be attached to
the exhibit before such can be placed on exhibition.
30. Contrary to the customs of most agricultural societies, the Society has decided
that the names of all exhibitors shall be placed on the cards attached to the articles
on exhibition, except in Department E and Department H. as to do otherwise deprives
the exhibitors of one of the main features of these exhibitions, viz: advertising.
31. No person will be allowed to see the entries or have access to the entry-books
until after the awards are made.
82. All entries shall be for the first premium of the premium number under which
they are entered ; but, failing to take the first, shall compete for the second, if a
second is offered : and failing to take the second, shall compete for the third, if any;
but shall not be awarded more than one premium under the same premivmi number.
12 REGULATIONS.
33. Exhibitors must .see to the proper deliver}' of articles and live stock on the
grounds, and to the proper care of the latter, as no charges for transportation or
drayage will be paid )jy the Society.
EXHIBITS.
34. The grounds will be in readiness for the reception of exhibits any time during
Thursday, Friday and Saturday preceding the Fair, but no exhibits will be received
Sunday, except live stock from a distance that may have been dela.yed in coming.
Neither will exhibitors be permitted to make any arrangements on that day except
such as the Superintendent may deem necessary.
3.5. Articles and animals provided with the required entry tags will be assigned
places by Superintendents of Departments until Tuesday, October 20, at 12 o'clock M.,
after which no more will be received in departments where premiums are offered,
except in classes where perishable goods are entered.
36. All animals must be exhibited in such places and at such times as the Super-intendent
in charge of such sliall direct, in accordance with the official programme.
37. Any and all articles obnoxious or repulsive in their character shall be excluded
from the grounds, or if entered without being fully known, shall be removed at once.
38. Ladies from a distance desiring to exhibit textile fabrics may ship their goods
to the Secretary, but in no case will he, or the Society, be responsible for any loss,
damage or breakage. Goods so shipped must be directed to the Secretary, "Main
Gate, Fair Grounds," and must arrive not later than Monday, October 19. No pack-age
will be accepted unless freight isprejxt.id.
S^xcial notice is hereby given that none but textile goods and art work can be eon-signed
to the Secretary for evhibition or competition.
39. Exhibitors will be required to keep their space and stalls in a cleanly condition,
by removing therefrom any filth or litter, and place it in front of said space or stall,
where the scavenger force of the Society may get to it with ease.
40. Should any per.son misrepresent his exhibit, and a premium be awarded upon
it, such premium may be withheld by the Executive Committee.
41. 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 20, will receive no attention whatever froin the Awarding Com-mittees
or Experts.
This is but just to both exhiliitors 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 management
should fulfill its pledge to give four days' exhibition.
Exhibitors can have the use of halls and grounds for any reasonable numljer of
days preceding opening daj' 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 concei-ned.'"
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 ribbons will be attached
onh- b}- 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 deenis its diploma or medal to possess value equal
to a cash premium of not less than ten dollars. The exhibitor enti-tled
to a prize, equal to that amount, will be at liberty to commute
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 thirt}' days after the close of the Fair,
and if not claimed by tlie first day of Fe"bruary, 1897, will be regarded
as donated to the Society.
46. Medals and diplomas will be delivered at any time between
November 1 and December 31, 1896.
REGULATIONS. 13

that property is protected against damage and loss bj' accident or otherwise.
53. They will also see tliat no property is removed before the appointed time, and

to prevent fraud or mistakes by such removal.
JUDGES.
54. The Society reserves the right to use either the single or three

the Director of each department is authorized to select others to fill
the vacancies, always endeavoring to select persons duly qualified
by their pursuits or experience to make correct awards in each
special department. In all cases the Judges, before awarding any
IJremium, will be careful to see that tlie requirements of the Pre-mivrm
List have been strictly complied with by the exhibitor.
57. No person directly or indirectly interested will be 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 member of the Executive Committee act as Judge or

58. Judges are expected and specially instructed not to award
premiums to any animal or article because of its presence. It must
be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Society to en-courage
inditferent productions of any kind, or to distribute pre-miums
equally among exhibitors, and no premium should be
awarded to any animal or article that does not possess high intrinsic
merits.
.59. When two subjects of the same kind, presented for premiums,
are deemed by the Judges of equal merit, and also of such high de-gree
that to either, if alone, the premium would be awarded—in such
case the award must be to divide the first and second premiums
equally between the two competitors; or, in case there shall have
been no second premium offered, then to divide the first only in like
proportion.
60. Tlie Director in charge and the Special Superintendent shall
attend the Judges when making the examinations in their respective

Exhibitors are required to have their stock ready in the pens for the Judges by 10
o'clock A. M. the second day of tlie Fair. This rule will be strictly enforced. See
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 dut3% 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 understood 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 believe 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, 189.5, and the date of shearnig must
be given.
Flocks and pens of sheep must be owned by one individual or previously existing
firm.
Animals competing for the individual premiums may also compete for the flock
premiums.

i;^" Read the rules carefull}' and comply strictly.
All entries in Frnit and Vegetable classes must be made by 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 mean that the fruit is to be placed upon wooden plates, which
will be furnished by the Secretary. Each plate is to contain .six specimens and no
more. Each plate of fruit must be plainly and correctly named, and the entry 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 pre-mium
offered for a general collection of fruit will not be awarded to a mere jjile of
apples or other fruit, but must be for a real collection arranged on plates of six
each and all correctly labelled, and no fruit will be counted in a collection unless
it is a fair specimen of the variety. No trash fruit of any kind will be counted
merely to make up a collection. A premium for the best collection of grapes,
peaches, or any other fruit, will not be awarded to mere number, but to the quality
of the exhibit mainly. Brandies and wines must be in sealed and neatly labelled
bottles. The committee will withhold premiums in any case where there is no
competition and the article is of inferior 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 that is not arranged in accordance with these rules. The awards for fruits
will be made on the afternoon of the second day of the Fair, and all not then in
place will be left out. No exhibitor vrill be allowed to discuss 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 unnecessary walking to and fro on the
part of the judges, the fruit exhibits must be arranged 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 special premium, and no plants in the profes-sional
class will be awarded a premium, unless it is a well-grown specimen of its
kind. The premium for the twelve best cut roses is held to mean twelve varities,
each in a separate bottle, with label attached giving the correct name of the variety.
In the premium for 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
or keep them fresh, and no notice will be taken of collections loosely thrown on the
tables. In the premiums for the best boquet, basket 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 the names adopted by the American Pomological
Society will rule, and no variety will be accepted that has not been admitted to

fruit brought for sale merely will not be allowed to count in a general collection of
fruit, as all fruit shown for premiums must be arranged on plates and remain on
them till the close of the Fair.
