NOTICE to intending Exhibitors at the forthcoming Philadelphia Exhibition, 1876. To be opened 10th May, and closed 10th November, 1876.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.

1. All Exhibits must be forwarded to the Commissioners at Wellington, through the Local Committees, before the 15th November, 1875.
2. Local Committees will take steps to ensure that collections from their respective provinces will reach Wellington by that date.
3. Each Exhibit must be accompanied by two copies of full, written descriptions, stating value; and by the name and address of the Exhibitor in full.
4. If Exhibits are not intended for competition, it must be so stated by the Exhibitor.
5. If more than one Exhibit is packed in a case, it will be advisable to distinguish each Exhibit by a serial number.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. The principal articles the collection of which the Commissioners would urge are as follow—(The maximum and minimum quantities which will be received are given, where limit is necessary):—

(1.) GOLD.—The Commissioners will obtain specimens from the Bank of New Zealand.
