and consisting of heavy and bulky parts, must 

 be set up by the 15th of April. 



Slate is particularly desired to be sent to the 

 Exhibition ; the slate will stand a chance of 

 being sold with advantage at the close of the 

 Exhibition, the Austrian slate being only fit for 

 roofing. 



It is also desired by the Director-General that 

 fittings, show-cases, cloth for the covering of 

 walls, window glass, &c., should be sent from 

 England to Vienna ; these would be considered 

 as exhibition objectrS, and could be Gold at the 

 close of the Exhibition. 



Considering the bad and very costly ex- 

 periences of all foreign commissions at past 



London and Paris Exhibitions in storing empty 

 packing cases, the Director-General of the 

 Austrian Commission has made special arrange- 

 ments in this respect, offering every possible 

 facility. He has secured near the exhibition- 

 grounds a large space for " empties," which he 

 offers gratis to the foreign commissions. On 

 this space a modern building will be erected, 

 a nda very moderate rate charged according 

 to a fixed tariff based upon the actual outlay 

 of cost. It will be connected by rail with the 

 Exhibition, so that all empties can be sent 

 direct to this shed. 



No previous Exhibition has afforded such 

 facilities for this purpose.
