continue to receive goods until Monday,
the 31st of March, 1862, inclusive.

Articles of great size or weight, the
placing of which will require considerable labour, must be sent before Saturday, the 1st of March, 1862; and manufacturers wishing to exhibit
machinery, or other objects, that will
require foundations or special constructions, must make a declaration to that
effect on their demands for space.

Any exhibitor whose goods can
properly be placed together, will be at
liberty to arrange such goods in his
own way, provided his arrangement is
compatible with the general scheme of
the Exhibition, and the convenience of
other exhibitors.

Where it is desired to exhibit processes of manufacture, a sufficient
number of articles, however dissimilar,
will be admitted for the purpose of
illustrating the process; but they
must not exceed the number actually
required.

Exhibitors will be required to deliver
their goods at the building, and to
unpack and arrange them, at their own
charge and risk; and all articles must
be delivered with the freight, carriage,
porterage, and all charges and dues
upon them paid.

Packing cases must be removed at
the cost of the exhibitor or his agent,
as soon as the goods are examined and
deposited in charge of the Commissioners.

Exhibitors will be permitted, subject
only to the necessary general regulations, to erect, according to their own
taste, all the counters, stands, glass
frames, brackets, awnings, hangings, or
similar contrivances, which they may
consider best calculated for the display
of their goods.

Exhibitors must be at the charge of
insuring their own goods, should they
desire this security. Every precaution
will be taken to prevent fire, theft, or
other losses, and Her Majesty’s Commissioners will give all the aid in their
power for the legal prosecution of any
persons guilty of robbery or wilful injury
in the Exhibition, but they will not be
responsible for losses or damage of any
kind which may be occasioned by fire
or theft, or in any other manner.

Exhibitors may employ assistants to
keep in order the articles they exhibit,
or to explain them to visitors, after
obtaining written permission from Her

Majesty’s Commissioners: but such
assistants will be forbidden to invite
visitors to purchase the goods of their
employers.

Her Majesty’s Commissioners will
provide shatting, steam (not exceeding
30 lbs per inch), and water at high
pressure for machines in motion.

Intending exhibitors, in the United
Kingdom are requested to apply,
without delay, to the Secretary to Her
Majesty’s Commissioners, at the offices,
454, West Strand, London, W. C., for
a ‘Form of Demand for Space,’ stating
at the same time in which of the four
Sections they wish to exhibit.

Foreign and Colonial exhibitors
should apply to the Commission, or
other Central Authority appointed by
the Foreign or Colonial Government,
as soon as notice has been given of its
appointment.

Her Majesty’s Commissioners, having
consulted a Committee as to the organization of the Fine Art Department
of the Exhibition, will publish the rules
relating thereto at a future date.

By order,

F. R. SANDFORD,
Secretary.
