exhibitors, who must obtain certificates for the admission of their objects from their re¬ 
spective governments. Foreign countries will appoint their own judges. The remain¬ 
ing two-thirds of the space will be filled by objects produced either in the United King¬ 
dom, or, if produced abroad, sent direct to the building for inspection and approval of 
judges selected for the British exhibitors. Objects not accepted for exhibition must be 
removed according the notices given, but no objects exhibited can be removed until the 
close of the exhibition. 
All exhibitors or their agents must deliver, at the building, into the charge of the 
proper officers, the objects unpacked and ready for immediate exhibition, and free of all 
charges for carriage, etc. 
Her Majesty’s Commissioners will find large glass cases, stands, and fittings, free of 
cost to the exhibitors, and, except in the case of machinery, carry out the arrangement 
of the objects by their own officers.
