The Company wishes all Exhibitors to understand, that this Exposition is a business affair, and will be conducted on business principles.  To this end, an Exhibitor may use any amount of his allotted space that he wishes as an office, for the transaction of any business that may be carried on by him.
   A diagram of the floor space of the Pavilion, the Exposition building, may be seen at the office of the Corporation, Room 104, Currier Block, Los Angeles, California, where floor space for exhibits and booths may be engaged.
   Mr. P. E. Crabtree, of Denver, Colorado, Official Judge of the "National Belgian Hare Club, of America," will act as Judge of all specimens, judging the Belgian Hares, both standard  bred  and  heavy weights, entered, by scoring,  and  all  other  classes  of  competitors,  by comparison.
   The judging will be done in public, and under the management of a Committee of prominent citizens of Southern California, who will be required to direct the presentation of the specimens in such a manner as will preclude any possibility of the Judge knowing whose animal is before him.
   Numbers will be used to designate the exhibits, and these will not be placed until the award has been made.
   The management is emphatically determined to obviate  every  possibility of  dissension  between  the Exhibitors and the Judge, and all awards will be made upon pure merit.
   The commencement of the judging will take place at nine o'clock, upon the opening day of the Exposition, February  8, and will  be completed at the  earliest moment possible.
   All Premiums will be paid on the closing day of the Exposition, February 10.
   All specimens competing for prizes must be in their places before nine o'clock on  the morning of the 8th of February.
   All animals admitted to the Exposition must be in good health.
   No animals suffering from chronic ailments will be allowed to compete, and any animal  that becomes sick after being entered must be removed at once to secluded Quarters.
   The supervision and examination of the health of the hares will be in charge of a Committee, under the direction of Judge Crabtree and the Management.
   Each Exhibitor will be required, on making entry of Hares, to make Affidavit before a Notary Public as to the correctness of his entries.
   The Entrance Fee will be ten per cent of the amount of the purse, in each Class, and this amount shall be paid at date of entry.
  Exhibitors may rent and occupy space for the purpose of exhibiting stock that is for sale, in addition to their stock entered in competition, and will be allowed to make sales, and deliver Hares, except of those entered in competition, and refill the vacant places with other Hares, at any time, during the Exposition.
   Exhibitors will be required to furnish their own cages for specimens, and these cages must be of uniform width and height; the cages must be two to two and a half feet wide, and twenty inches high, if two tiers of cages are used; but if only one tier is used it may be forty inches in height.
   The length of the cage may be made to suit the space used by the Exhibitor.  Tables to place the cages upon will be furnished by the Management, free of charge.
   The construction, and arrangement, of the Office portions of the booths will be at the pleasure of the Exhibitor, and be complete by eight o'clock in the morning of the 8th February.
   Not more than two tiers high of cages will be allowed.
   Exhibitors will be required to furnish their own food, and to feed and water their own stock, and keep pens clean; the debris being carried away by the janitor. Sawdust, or Cut Straw, and Dry Earth, will be furnished by the Management, free.
   At least five competitors must be entered in each Class, to fill out said Class, except where otherwise stated.
   For Entry Blanks, enclose stamp or call upon the Secretary, or General Manager.
   The score of an exhibit will determine the Winner, as in individual specimens.
   The Exhibitor must provide lock, and retain key, to his cage, or cages, of Hares.
   A Breeder is understood to be one who either breeds a Doe, owned by him at the time of mating ; or purchases a Doe, and orders her bred to a certain Ruck; or purchases a Doe, already bred, providing he is impressed of this fact before purchasing, and is also impressed as to what Buck she is bred to, and receives a Certificate of Breeding with the Doe.
   An Auction Sale of Hares will take place, each day, during the Exposition, at 11 o'clock a.m., and 2 o'clock p.m.  Specimens may be listed, with the Entry Clerk, on the day previous to the Sale, and at a fee of ten per cent. of the price realised from the Sale.
   Exhibitors will be allowed to remove valuable Hares from the Show-room, after each night's exhibition, and return them on the following morning, not later than eight o'clock.
   Exhibitors may begin the arrangement of their booths as early as Wednesday morning, February 7, and everything connected with the exhibit belonging to Exhibitors must be removed, from space occupied, not later than six o'clock in the morning of February 12.
   Exhibitors must not so arrange their business, and signs, as to obstruct the view of other booths, either in front or rear.   Any reasonable  arrangement will be permitted.
   Entries of Hares will not be accepted later than 5th of February.  Entries may be made by telegraph or by letter.
   All due diligence and care will be exercised by the Management, to protect Exhibitors, and their specimens, in every practical manner.
   Further than this the Management will not assume responsibility, in any sense.
   A sufficient corps of assistants will be employed by the Management, both day and night, to render the best possible protection to Exhibitors.
   Any ties occurring in Classes will be adjusted by dividing the premium equally between the number of Hares showing the same score in that Class, and a Certificate will be issued by the Company to the owner of each specimen, setting forth, in each case, the conditions of the award.
   Exhibitors entering as many as three specimens for competition, or occupying purchased space at a cost exceeding Six Dollars, will be presented with a Season Ticket, admitting them to the Pavilion at all times during the Exposition.
   Medals and Cups will be delivered to the winning competitors within sixty days of the close of the Exhibition, or earlier, if possible to get them made.

According to F.D. Guttery (quoted from the 1976 edition of the ABHC Guidebook): "At the exposition in Los Angeles, February, 1900, the value of the winners rose at once. I was in the midst of the fray, and these are the facts.  The owner of the winning doe Internation Champion (unnamed) refused $750, while the owner of the champion buck (also unnamed) refused all offers.  Prize in each case was $100. Stud fee to the buck was boosted from $25 to $50 and dates booked months ahead.  The owners of a buck scoring 3/4 point less than the winner, quickly boosted his price from $500 to $1,000. a lesser buck sold for $500, and several six-weeks young sold for $50 each.The best American Bred Doe won a $50 prize, and her litter sister as sold for $340.  A lady from San Jose took north $2,000 worth, and a man from there invested $900 in a few.  These prices are not surprising, as often the animals earning $200 to $300 per month, and the young of the champion Doe were all spoken for at $100 each........"
