DECISIONS
OF
HER MAJESTY'S COMMISSIONERS
ON POINTS
RELATING TO THE EXHIBITION.
June, 1861.

1. Her Majesty's Commissioners have fixed
   upon Thursday the 1st day of May, 1862, for
   opening the Exhibition.

2. The Exhibition building will be erected
   on a site adjoining the gardens of the Royal
   Horticultural Society, and in the immediate
   neighborhood of the ground occupied in 1851,
   on the occasion of the first International
   Exhibition.

3. The portion of the building to be devoted
   to the exhibition of Pictures will be erected in
   brick, and will occupy the entire front towards
   Cromwell Road; the portion in which Ma-
   chinery will be exhibited will extend along
   Prince Albert's Road, on the West side of the
   gardens.

4. All works of industry to be exhibited
   should have been produced since 1850. The
   decision whether goods, proposed to be ex-
   hibited, are admissible or not, must, in each
   case eventually rest with Her Majesty's
   Commissioners.

5. Subject to the necessary limitation of
   space, all persons, whether designers, inven-
   tors, manufacturers, or producers of articles,
   will be allowed to exhibit; but they must
   state the character in which they do so.

6. Her Majesty's Commissioners will com-
   municate with Foreign and Colonial exhibi-
   tors only through the Commission which the
   Government of each Foreign Country or
   Colony may appoint for that purpose; and no
   article will be admitted from any Foreign
   Country or Colony without the sanction of
   such Commission.

7. No rent will be charged to exhibitors.

8. Every article produced or obtained by
   human industry, whether of
   Raw materials,
   Machinery,
   Manufactures, or
   Fine Arts,
   will be admitted to the Exhibition, with the
   exception of
   Living animals and plants,
   Fresh vegetable and animal substances,
   liable to spoil by keeping,
   Detonating or dangerous substances.
   Copper Caps, or other Articles of a similar
   nature, may be exhibited, provided the
   detonating powder be not inserted; also
   Lucifer Matches, with imitation tops.
