16. Where it is desired to exhibit processes
    of manufacture, a sufficient number of articles,
    however dissimilar, will be admitted for the
    purpose of illustrating the process; but they
    must not exceed the number actually re-
    quired. (17—25.)*

17. Exhibitors will be required to deliver
    their goods at such part of the building as
    shall be indicated to them, with the freight,
    carriage, porterage, and all charges and dues
    upon them paid.

18. The vans will be unloaded, and the
    articles and packages taken to the places ap-
    pointed in the building, by the officers of her
    Majesty's Commissioners.

19. Upon receipt of notice from her Ma-
    jesty's Commissioners that the articles are
    deposited in the building, exhibitors, or their
    representatives, or agents, must themselves
    unpack, put together, and arrange their goods.

20. Packing cases must be removed at the
    cost of the exhibitors, or their agents, as soon
    as the goods are examined and deposited in
    charge of the Commissioners. If not removed
    within three days of notice being given, they
    will be disposed of, and the proceeds, if any,
    applied to the funds of the Exhibition.
    (30—34.)*

21. No counters, or fittings, will be pro-
    vided by her Majesty's Commissioners. Ex-
    hibitors will be permitted, subject only to the
    necessary general regulations, to erect, ac-
    cording to their own taste, all the counters,
    stands, glass frames, brackets, awnings, hang-
    ings, or similar contrivances which they may
    consider best calculated for the display of
    their goods.

22. Exhibitors, or their representatives,
    should provide 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
    arrangements for keeping the articles free
    from rust during the time of the Exhibition
    (37—42.)*

23. Exhibitors must be at the charge of
    insuring their own goods, should they desire
    this security. Every precaution will be taken
    to prevent fire, theft, or other losses, and her
    Majesty's Commissioners 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 re-
    sponsible for losses or damage of any kind
    which may be occasioned by fire or theft, or
    in any other manner.

24. Exhibitors may employ assistants (male
    or female) to keep in order the articles they
    exhibit, or to explain them to visitors, after
    obtaining written permission from her Majes-
    ty's Commissioners; but such assistants will
    be forbidden to invite visitors to purchase the
    goods of their employers. (45—49.)*

25. Articles once deposited in the building
    will not be permitted to be removed without
    written permission from her Majesty's Com-
    missioners. (51—54.)*

26. Her Majesty's Commissioners will pro-
    vide shafting, steam (not exceeding 30 lbs.
    per inch), and water, at high pressure, for
    machines in motion.

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

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

100. 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.

101. Her Majesty's Commissioners will con-
     sider that to be the Central Authority in each
     case which is stated to be so by the Govern-
     ment of its country, and will only communicate
     with Exhibitors through such Central Body.

102. 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 Authority
     of the country of which they are the produce.
     Her Majesty's Commissioners will communi-
     cate 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 limitations. It will
     rest with the Central Authority in each coun-
     try 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.

103. 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 conveni-
     ence.

104. By arrangements made with Her
     Majesty's Government, all Foreign or Colonial
