THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

  1. Persons who may wish to exhibit
    Machines, or trains of Machinery, in motion,
    will be allowed to have them worked, as far as
    practicable, under their own superintendence,
    and by their own men. (57-70.)*

  2. Intending exhibitors, in the United
    Kingdom, are requested to apply, without
    delay, to the Secretary to Her Majesty's
    Commissioners, for a Form of Demand for
    Space
    , stating at the same time in which of
    the four Sections they wish to exhibit.

  3. The following is the Form which has
    to be filled up:—

  4. Name and Christian name of applicant (or name
    of firm)

    and

  9. Probable space that

    Breadth - feet.
    Height - feet.
    Hanging or Wall Space.
    Height - feet.

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

  11. Her Majesty's Commissioners will
    consider that to be the Central Authority in
    each case which is stated to be so by the Go-
    vernment of its country, and will only commu-
    nicate with Exhibitors through such Central
    Body.

  12. No articles of foreign manufacture, to
    whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever
    they may be, can be admitted for exhibition,
    except with the sanction of the Central Au-
    thority of the country of which they are the
    produce. Her Majesty's Commissioners will
    communicate to such Central Authority the
    amount of space which can be allowed to the
    productions of the country for which it acts,
    and will also state the further conditions and
    limitations which may from time to time be
    decided on with respect to the admission of
    articles. All articles forwarded by such Central
    Authority will be admitted, provided they do
    not require a greater aggregate amount of
    space than that assigned to the country from
    which they come; and, provided also, that they
    do not violate the general conditions and limi-
    tations. It will rest with the Central Autho-
    rity in each country to decide upon the merits
    of the several articles presented for exhibition,
    and to take care that those which are sent are
    such as fairly represent the industry of their
    fellow countrymen.

  13. Separate space will be allotted to each
    Foreign Country, within which the Commis-
    sioners for that country will be at liberty to
    arrange the productions entrusted to them in
    such manner as they think best, subject to the
    condition that all Machinery shall be exhibited
    in the portion of the Building specially devoted
    to that purpose, and all Pictures in the Fine
    Art Galleries, and to the observance of any
    general rules that may be laid down by Her
    Majesty's Commissioners for public convenience.

  14. By arrangements made with Her Ma-
    jesty's Government, all Foreign or Colonial
    Goods intended for exhibition, sent and ad-
    dressed in accordance with the Regulations
    laid down by Her Majesty's Commissioners of
    Customs, as set forth in Article 108, will be
    admitted in to the country, and allowed to be
    transmitted to the Exhibition Building without
    being previously opened, and without payment
    of any duty. But all Goods which shall not be
    re-exported at the termination of the Exhibi-
    tion will be charged with the proper duties,
    under the ordinary Customs Regulations.

  15. Every article sent separately, and every
    package, must be legibly marked with the name
    of the foreign country or colony of which it is
    the produce or manufacture, and, as far as prac-
    ticable, with the name of the exhibitor or ex-
    hibitors.

  16. The following is the Form of Address
    which should be adopted :—

To The Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862.
BUILDING, SOUTH KENSINGTON, LONDON.
From [state Country and Exhibitor's name.]

To prevent loss, miscarriage, or mislaying,
articles or packing cases containing them, which
occupy less bulk than two cubic feet, should
not be sent separately, but packages under such
size containing, as far as possible, the same
classes of articles, should be transmitted in
combination.

  1. Her Majesty's Commissioners of Cus-
    toms have laid down the following regulations
    upon the importation of goods intended for the
    Exhibition:—
    a. All packages containing goods intend-
    ed for the International Exhibition of 1862
    shall be specially reported as such, and shall
    be addressed to the Commissioners of the
    International Exhibition, or to one of their
    officers, and be consigned to a duly accre-
    dited agent, and shall be accompanied with
    a specification of their contents and value.
    They shall be separately entered as intended
    for the International Exhibition, and the
    agents in passing their entries shall specify
    the full contents of the packages, together
    with the value.

b. Such packages as may be landed in
London shall be forwarded unopened to the
Exhibition in charge of an approved licensed
carman, accompanied by a cart note from
the landing officer, giving a description of
the packages and the marks and numbers
thereon; and in cases where there may be
reason to suppose they contain other goods
than those for the Exhibition, they shall also
be accompanied by a revenue officer.
