Reply.
Our first suggestion on the point rased
by Mr. s. would be-Araa yOurstiees Of the aid
| Of the Industrial Organizations xor eristiar. "a
The greatest practicable extem For instance,
We will assume that the just and plain rule acted
upon in London, of constituting each Jury ons.
half Of our own cOuntrymen and the residue of
| Foreigners, will be adopted here. Well: Suppose
four Jaries Of ten members each will be required
on Agricultural Implements and Products, usdsr
proper subdiyisOns-here would be twenty Amer
lean jurors needed on sub scts requiring familiar
ity with Agriculture. We would then say, Lat
the Association request the New ork State Ar
ricutural Society to designate, at or previous to
it's Annual Meeting next winter, three or lour
suitable persons to act on the several Agricutu.
raj Juries and so ask the State Agricultural So.
eieties of Pennsylvania and Msssac husetts to des-
ignate two each, and other State Societies IN q
or less, according to the probable amount of Az.
ricutural Implements and Products that shall DO
contributed from their States respectively.
We need not follow out this suggestion into de.
tails. 1t would not be difficult to invite the Hat.
taro of ~ 70 nd
son mot an exhibitor of Hats whom majority Of
them should consider best qualified for place
on the Jury on Hats those of PHILADELPHIA and
vicinity to designate another; those of Boston
and vicinity another; and so on. SO with regard
to Steam-Engines, Fire. Engines, Locomotives.
Bronzes, India Rubber fabrics, Wooens. Cotton
Prints, and every important class of articles sr-
hibted. (Of course, we do not attempt TO ind.
cate proper classification, but simply to shoe
how Jurors might be obtained after the classiica.
tion shall have been made.)
AS no recompense is made to Jurors, we do noe
apprehend any unworthy strife for the posts, save
rival producers of given fabric might intrigue
to secure an award favorable to their product
respectively. We think this would be precludsd
stituency, while the Foreign half of each Jury
would be chosen in manner so different as to rem
der collision and corrupt infuesce impossible.
AS to the Foreign half Of each Jury, we would
suggest that the Consul OF this port Of each Coun.
try contributing to the Exhibition, be requested
having ample time afforded him, TO consult his
country men here and elsewhere and designate
one, two, three, FIVE ten or twenty persons as the
number ofcontrbutOrs from his country would seem
to warrant, to act on these Jures Designating ia
each case what departments each person esgnsted
would be best qualified to serve on, AMI what
IF ANY, he would be disqualified from serving on
by reason Of personal interest in articles therein
exhibited. These lists need not be perfected ill
a short time before the opening of the Exhibition
nor, indeed, till aherward, should delay seem to
be necessary.
One, suggestion we must volunteer, for the
benefit Of Jurors and visitors for instruction. The
London Exhibition was rendered more pquant
and picturesque by its division into National de-
parments, but its practical utility was greatly di.
minished, while the labors of Jurors were en-.
HANGED, by that same. Take Flows for example:
The Jurors on Agricultural Implements exam 10
a French Plow, and rather like it. Still, the
merits of all such products are relative and tho
Jury, unless already perfectly familiar with the
peculiarites and merits of all the Flows in exist
ence, must trudge off sixty rods to look at the
Belgian Plows then as much further to scrti-
nize the American; and then take q still longer
Quincy to scan the English, before making up an
opinion. Six hours Of this walking, walking, the
mind and eyes intently employed at every halt,
will so wearya large majority Of Jurors that they
are ready to drop in their tracks and be run over
BY the multitude through whom they are elbowng 4
heir way. But let all the Flows from whatever
country be exhibited together, as also every thing
Else, and though the Exhibition will have less the
ook Of an interminable bazaar, it will be far more
Ineligible and useful to its yisters, while the la
cor of JuTofs (seyere nj bestl will be reduced at
