Notice to intending Exhibitors at the forthcoming Philadelphia Exhibition, 1876.
TO BE OPENED 10TH MAY, AND CLOSED 10TH NOVEMBER, 1876.
GENERAL REGULATIONS.
-
All Exhibits must be forwarded to the Commissioners at Wellington,
through the Local Committees, before the 15th November, 1875. -
Local Committees will take steps to insure that collections from their
respective provinces shall reach Wellington by that date. -
Each Exhibit must be accompanied by two copies of full, written descrip-
tions, stating value; and by the name and address of the Exhibitor in full. -
If Exhibits are not intended for competition, it must be so stated by the
Exhibitor. -
If more than one Exhibit is packed in a case, it will be advisable to
distinguish each Exhibit by a serial number. -
Each package must have affixed to it a label or mark showing the
province from which it comes, and the serial number of the package. -
All expenses of transport, &c., after Exhibits are received by Local
Committees, will be undertaken by the Commissioners; but all expenses up to
the time of their reception by Local Committees will have to be defrayed by such
Committees. -
The collections sent from New Zealand will be confined, as closely as
possible, to the raw products of the country, and articles manufactured from
them. The exhibition of miscellaneous articles-unless illustrating the history
of the country or its scenery-will not be encouraged. -
It is very necessary to insure that nothing is exhibited which is not first-
class. Exhibitors, especially of wool, should therefore be very careful in their
selection of specimens. -
The principal articles the collection of which the Commissioners would
urge are as follow--(The maximum and minimum quantities which will be
received are also given, where limit is necessary) :-
(1.) Gold. The Commissioners will obtain specimens from the Bank of
New Zealand.
(2.) Grain. Max., ½ bushel; min., ¼ bushel.
(3.) Wool. Max., 60 lbs.; min., 40 lbs.
(4.) Coal. Max., 50 lbs.; min., 25 lbs.
(5.) Timber.-Series of uniform samples only. Sections with the bark
on and only half the face polished, the other half being left in
its natural state. Specimens to be not longer than 3 feet.
(6.) Flax.-Dressed Fibre, max., 50 lbs.; min., 30 lbs.
Rope, and other Manufactured Articles.
(7.) Kauri Gum. - Max., 50 lbs.; min., 30 lbs. This is much used in
the United States, and a carefully made collection would be of
importance to the colony.
(8.) Tanning Barks.
Leather.
