SPECIAL NOTICE. 



At a meeting of the Society, held December 14, 1883, a Com- 

 mittee appointed to consider what farther regulations were neces- 

 sary for the better conduct of the exhibitions, presented the 

 following Report : 



1. During the preparations for all prize exhibitions a door- 

 keeper shall be stationed at the door of the Hall, who shall on no 

 account leave his position, and shall see that no person, except 

 members of Committees and Exhibitors or their assistants, is ad- 

 mitted to the Hall upon any pretext whatever. 



2. At the close of every exhibition a doorkeeper shall be 

 stationed at the door of the Hall, who shall on no account leave 

 his position, and shall on no pretext whatever admit any person to 

 the Hall except members of Committees and Exhibitors or those 

 bearing written orders from them for the delivery of articles 

 exhibited ; and all other persons who may be in the Hall at the 

 close of the exhibition shall leave immediately. 



8. In the case of exhibitions continuing through the evening, 

 no general removal of articles shall take place until the next day, 

 at such time as the Committee of Arrangements shall appoint ; 

 and the members of that Committee shall be present at such time 

 and shall attend to the delivery of articles exhibited. Highly 

 perishable exhibits may, however, be removed at night at th§ close 

 of an exhibition, on an order to the Superintendent of the Build- 

 ing from the Chairman of the Committee having them in charge. 



4. The Superintendent of the Building shall employ all assist- 

 ance necessary strictly to enforce the above rules, including police. 



5. Exhibitors disposing of any of their exhibits viust notify 

 the Superintendent of such disposal, and the Superintendent shall 

 not deliver such articles without a written order from the owner 

 thereof.
