Central Authority in any country, they must de
cline, absolutely and entirely, any Communication

only refer to central body. This decision is
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-
fusion.
:" No articles Of foreign manufacture to whom
soever they may belong, or wheresoever they may
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless thew
come with the sanction of the Central Authority

The Commissioners do not insist upon such art,-
cles being in all actually forwarded bv the
Central Authority, though they consider that this
ment but it is indispensable that the sanction of
snch authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that it be held responsible for the fl
ess of such articles for exhibition and for mot
authorizing the exhibition of a greater quantity
than can be accommodated in the space assis,ed
to the productions of the country in question:
