[la this form of return, as well ns ninny others, it would have eventually saved trouble if the length’breadth, anil height of the article or articles to be exhibited, or the case or stall to containthem, had been distinctly specified, ns near as could be judged at the date of the return ; it wouldhave afterwards facilitated the arrangements in detail, and would have prevented some mistakes.Twelve feet of counter and wall was commonly interpreted as twelve feet lineal, and many exhibi-tors demanded not only the superficial counter space they required, hut the floor on which thatcounter was to stand.]
55. A Counterpart of this form should be retained by intending Exhibitors.
56. A register of the names, and the particulars thus sent, will be made by the Local Com-mittees, and must be transmitted by them to M. 1). Wyatt, Esq., on or before the 31st ofOctober (see 51).
57. It will not bo necessary in the first instance to exhibit to the Local Committee eitherspecimens of the Articles to Do sent, or to give a minute specification of them.
58. The first point to be ascertained is the probable number of Exhibitors, and the spacethat will be probably required for the Articles they may send. The Local Committee willhereafter determine on the principle on which the selection of Articles for transmission toLondon shall be made ; giving to the Contributors full public notice of that principle, and oftho mode in which it is to be carried into execution.
51). It is difficult to decide on this important matter, without having some general notion oftho space which it is proposed by Hor Majesty’s Commissioners to allot to each particularDistrict. It will be tho earnest desire of the Local Committee to make those arrangements inrespect to tho principle and details of selection which shall bo most consistent with strictjustice to the Contributors, and which shall, as far as possible, prevent any party from beingprejudiced by tho premature disclosure of any particulars connected with the preparation ormanufacture of the Articles which he may propose to exhibit.
60. Intending Exhibitors should bear in mind that it will bo necessary for them toobtain the certificate of the nearest Local Committee of its approval of the articles sentfor Exhibition before they can be received for examination by the Commissioners in theBuilding.
