101. Foreign (tOVErnments. CoLLi-xnivE Exhiiuts. 



As is the universal practice in international exhibitions, foreign commis- 

 sioners will expect to install their material collectively, making excep- 

 tions, possibly, in the matter of machinery in motion, agricultural prod- 

 ucts and living animals, and the tine arts. For convenience of the juries 

 they will, of course, conform as nearly as may be to the otiticial classifica- 

 tion, within the limits of the space assigned to each country. 



If the i)lan proposed by Mr. W. E. Curtis is accepted, a special building will 

 be required for the combined collective exhibit of the Spanish-American 

 Republics.
