In addition to the simple awards the Committee have a word 
to say to exhibitors, especially to the disappointed ones. We 
advise them in future to read attentively the rules and regula¬

class in which their articles are embraced. If they "would have 
the labor of their brains and hands properly appreciated and 
considered, take heed that each minutia of those requisitions 
is faithfully complied with. If any are disposed to doubt the 
rightness of our taste, efficiency or capability, see if they have 
not in this particular been shortcoming. The duties of a com¬

as would come under the department of Domestic Manufactures, 
are no sinecure , as we, who have for several hours on tw r o succes¬

over articles, can testify. 
The desire to treat with due regard every article which the 
hands of industry have here presented, has been a paramount 
one. We sympathize with and appreciate the feelings of ex¬ 
hibitors. This feeling has prompted us to leniency in some 
cases where our judgement supported us in the belief that the 
articles were within the rules, and that the certificate to that 
effect was an oversight.

each article. While it would be too much for you to expect of
