The Agents-General and other authorities are most kindly render- 

 ing every assistance, and we trust that both growers and shippers 

 will do their best to send in Exhibits worthy of our Colonies, and to 

 show what can be produced for the Home markets. No entrance 

 fee or charge for space is made and Tabling is also provided free of 

 expense. If desired any produce may be consigned direct to the 

 Society and it will be stored in the cellars at Vincent Square and 

 staged by the Society's officials, but the Society cannot undertake 

 to repack and return any exhibits. 



In order to allow intending Exhibitors and others time to make 

 their arrangements, the Council have ordered the subjoined advance 

 Schedule to be issued. The Secretary of the R. H. S., Vincent 

 Square, Westminster, will be pleased to furnish them with any 

 further information and to forward Entry Forms and Schedule.
