to such Central Authority the amount Of space
which can be allowed to the productions pf the

conditions and limitations which may from time

is stated tosbs 50 BY he Gosamsns " T. cSSnIN.
Having once been put in comm,nication NM |.
Central Authority in any country, they must a.
cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication
WIN private ana unauthorized individuals; and.
should any such be addressed to them. they en-
only refer 10 central body. This decision e
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-

"No articles Of foreign manufacture, to whom
soever they may belong, or wheresoever they may
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless thsy
come with the sanction of the Central Authority
Of the country of whieh they ara the produce.
The Commissioners do not insist upon such art,-
ces being in all cases actually forwarded bv the
Central Authority, though they consider that flis
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange
ment but it is indispensable that the sanctio1 or
such authority should in all caAes be expressly
given, and that it be held responsible tor The t.
ness of such articles for exhibition and Tor NOT
authorizing the exhibition of greater auantitv
than can be accommodated in the space ass;e,.sd
