DIVISION II.--NON-AGRICULTURAL.
In this department prizes in the shape of bronze medals will
be awarded in cases of special merit, as recommended by the
Stewards; but a certificate will be given in all other cases.
The silver medals will only be awarded in such exceptional
cases, when recommended by the Judges, as to the Council may
seem expedient.

A competent jury of gentlemen will be selected to report
upon the whole of these exhibits, they being allowed to call in
experts when necessary, and, on their recommendation, in-
dorsed by the Stewards, the Council may award champion
prizes for the best collection of exhibits.

N.B.-All articles manufactured at the Exhibition may be
sold and delivered to purchasers, permits to allow removal
being obtained from the Secretary.
No exhibitor must enter two articles of the same sort, and
the Stewards will be empowered to refuse admission to articles
deemed, for various reasons, inadmissible. Articles not pro-
perly entered will not be admitted.

Intending exhibitors are requested to give a full description
of their goods.
It is especially requested that exhibitors will pay attention
to the regulations concerning the filling up of the certificate.
It is from these documents that the catalogue will be compiled.
All points of novelty or originality, and other information
respecting the exhibits, should be fully stated.
Since it will not be allowed to attach price tickets to the
exhibits, it is the more necessary that the price should be
mentioned in the catalogue, and therefore that this particular
be put in the certificate.

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

Packing-cases must be removed at the cost of the exhibitor
as soon as the goods are taken charge of by the Stewards.
Articles and packages will be unloaded at the building.
Should the exhibitors or their agents not be present, the
packages will not be opened, but stored at the risk and expense
of the exhibitors.

The Committee may decline to receive any article they may
think unsuitable for exhibition, or objects of an inflammatory,
offensive, perishable, or dangerous character.

The Committee reserve to themselves the right to receive for
exhibition only, and not for competition (if space admit), any
object not specified in the schedule, which may be considered
to possess especial merit.

Packages and articles intended for exhibition should bear on
the outside the class or classes the contents belong to, the name
of the exhibitor, and be delivered, free of charge, on or before
the 15th July, addressed as follows:-

To the Secretary of the
Agricultural Society of New South Wales,
Exhibition Buildings, Prince Alfred Park, Sydney.
