    bition, and the convenience of other exhibitors.
46. Where it is desired to exhibit processes of
    manufacture, a sufficient number of articles, however
    dissimilar, will be admitted for the purpose of illus-
    trating the process; but they must not exceed the
    number actually required.

ceeds, if any, applied to the funds of the Exhibition.

glass frames, brackets, awnings, hangings, or similar
contrivances which they may consider best calculated
for the display of their goods. Exhibitors, will, how-
ever, be assisted in every way in setting up fittings.
21. Exhibitors, or their representatives, should pro-
vide whatever light temporary covering may be
requisite (such as sheets of oiled calico) to protect
their goods from dust; and, in the case of machinery
and polished goods, should make the requisite arrange-
ments for keeping the articles free from rust during
the time of the Exhibition.
22. Exhibitors must be at the charges of insuring
their own goods, should they desire this security.
Every precaution will be taken to prevent fire, theft,
or other losses; and the Promoters 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.
23. Exhibitors may employ assistants to keep in
order the articles they exhibit, or to explain them to
visitors, after obtaining written permission from
the Promoters; but such assistants will be for-

not be permitted to be removed without written per-
mission from the Promoters.
