find that the conmittee thought it proper 70 appoint
two gentlemen to act in behalf Of American exhi-
biters, bsttoa act in separase departments, and for
distinct purposes. Both are, therefore, agents Of
the committee, but for separate and clearly pre-
scrbed duties. Mr.. 'SrSxsBuRy was sppointed 10
