record every payment, however trivial. It will likewise be his 

 duty to arrange about the printing and advertising, the taking 

 of a proper building for the exhibition, and, in fact, he must 

 look after and arrange everything in connection with the 

 carrying out of the show, as the entire responsibility, in one 

 sense, rests with him ; but he must do nothing of his own 

 accord everything must be submitted to and sanctioned by 

 the committee of management before it is acted upon. 



FEINTING. In selecting a printer be sure to employ one upon 

 whose veracity and punctuality in all matters of business you 

 can confidently rely, for if there is the least delay in having 

 the catalogues and awards of prizes ready, and they are 

 not sent off by first post after the judges have completed

 show demy folio, 10s. 6d. ; one hundred and fifty catalogues, 

 three-quarter sheet, with covers, 2 14s. The programmes I like 

 printed on tinted paper, pink, white, pea-green, and yellow, or

 moderate, considering that they are intended to represent 

 charges for first-class workmanship, good clear type, and the 

 best quality of paper. The cards should be rather large, and 

 neatly executed, particularly the prize cards. The printing can
