we. Inc commissioners appointed by your
MaJesy,s royal warrant, of the Sd January, 1885,
orthe Promotion of the Exhibition Of the Works
OF Industry Of ali Nations, and subsequently ncor.
porated by your Majssty's royal charter of the 18th
August, 1850, hnmbly beg to submit to your Ma
jesty The following report:
The Exhibition for The promotion of which we
were appointed by yonr Majesty, was finally closed
on The 18th Of October, of this year, and we
,nmbIy beg 10 report to your Majesty that the me-
dals and prizes have been awarded to the several
exhibitors by The J1res appointed to judge the
merits OF Their productions and in course Of
distribution. Tile full reports of the juries will be
lad before yonr Majesty when completed, together
with the list of the successful competitors
We are now engaged in bringing to close all
the business connected with the Exhibition and in
deirdying the various expenses incurred during its
progress Most of the claims the funds at our
disposal, however are already discharged and
after all shall have been satisfied, considerable
surplus viii remain, The precise amount of which
cannot b. asceraued until the accounts are finally
wound up when they will be duly laid before your
Majesty, hut which surplus, we have reason to be-
lleve, will not he les than tl50000
" This Surplus will consist in the balance that
may remain IN our hands after deducting all expendi-
ture from the sum OF I'm round numbersl 4505 0OO
which has been derived from the following sources:
E E6. 4o0
Enrancs i;s 400
casual receipts 1890
Total. e505 GOO
VI the entrance ices portion has been paid BY
foreign visitors. and 1t owing to the fact that
the contributions OF all nations there displayed
that the number OF visits made by persons attracted
to the Exhibition amounted to upwards OF 5000 000
" The subscriptions were derived, with few ex.
cepuonsr solely from your Majestys subjects, and
were made after public announcement that they
must be absolute and definite but that should
any surplus remain, it the intention Of your
Malestys commissioners to apply the same to
purposes strictly in connection with the ends of the
Exhibition, or for the establishment of similar Ex-
hibitions for the future.'
We humbly beg to represent to your Majesty
that we are OF opinion that it is not advisable to
apply the surplus to the last named purpose. Con.
sidering that the Exhibition which has just closed
has afforded ample proof that an undertaking of this
kind can be made seit-supporting, and that it may
safely be left to the public again to PROVIDE when
required, the means oil meeting the preliminary ex-
penses considering also the impossibility OF fixing
long beforehand any definite period for the repet-
ton OF such Exhibition, which requires for its
success so many concurrent circumstances-we are
of opinion that greater benefit may be derived by
the public from judicious application in the in.
terval OF the means at our disposal to the further
ance of the general objects for which the Exhibition
designed and in such a manner that the ad.
vantages which may be obtained shall not be con
fined solely to your Majesty's subjects, but should
be shared far it may be possible, by other
countries.
"These objects your Majesty's commissioners
conceive 10 nave Deen the 1uTtheTAnce OF every
branch OF human industry, by the comparison of
the processes employed, and of the results obtained
by all the nations of the earth, and the promotion
OF kindly international feelings, by the practical
Illustration of the advantages which may be de-
rived by each country FROM what has been done by
others Your Majestys commissioners have the
satisfaction to be able to express to your Majesty
their conviction that the Exhibition has to great
extent attained these Objects and that in its conse-
quences the most beneficial results may yet be ex-
pected.
Already many requirements on the part of the
public have become apparent during the course of
the Exhibition, and have found expression in yari
ons suggestions made to us for the application of he
surplus; many of them, however, were for obecta
quite Inconsistent with the pledges above allnded
10, whist others though for purposes in accordance
with them, were of limited, partial, or local char
acier.
Your Maesty's commissioners are of opinop
that no measures could be strictly in accordance
with tie ends of the Exhibition those which NAV
increase the means of industrial education and ex.
tend the influence of science and art upon produc.
tive industry We are fully aware of the difficulty
OF devlslng comprehensi plan to meet these OBJ
Jects; and should the view, however, which We
have taken as to the manner of fulfilling our pledges
meet your Maesiy's appreciation, we beg to assure
your Majesty that we snail give our fullest and
most careful consideration to this important subject
and we would suggest that full time should be af.
iorded us to consider and mature such plan as we
should feel warranted in laying before your Males.
ty, the more from the disproportion between
the end proposed and the means at present appica
BILE to it, much will depend on the extent of co. one.
ration we may receive from the public.
"We are advised. however, that our powers un.
der your Majesty's Royal charter will cease when
all the expenses incidental to the Exhibition shal
have been discharged, and notice thereof given to
your MaJesty's Secretary of State, and that we
have not the power of deciding upon the disposal
Of the surplus.
If therefore, it be your Majesty's pleasure tha,
we should act further in this matter, it will be
necessary, before we can take any preliminary step
that your Majesty should grant TO us, by Roya
charter, such further powers as your Majesty may
deem necessary, to enable US to lay before YOU,
Majesty scheme for the application of the surplus
In accordance with the expectations held out to the
public, and with the sanction and approval of Won,
Majesty, to adopt such measures may be neces
sary for such purpose.
All which We humby take leave to report tc
your Majesty
