INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING PARIS EXPOSITION
ABOUT THE BoUETIEs.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Nuch misunderstanding
about admissions to the Paris Exposition seems to
exist among some of the authorities Of several
States. Positively no articles will be entered or
received at the exposition except those for which
applications shall have been duly filed with and
accepted by the general agent at New York, ]. C.
Derby, Times Building, No. 40 Park Row. all ap-
pueaEOHS, therefore, Sl0ulQ De promptly fOT-
warded to him. as he is required to have the
descriptive catalogue ready by the 10Th of next
month"; Although the present list of applications
promises an excellent exhibition in several groups
1t is deficient in few important particulars,
such as rich furnishing upholstery and decorative
work, crystals and rich patterns, carpets, wall
papers, cutlery bronzes, ETC., cotton and its pro-
duets, wool and its products, feeces of wool,
shawls Of WOOL hosiery, etc., plans and models Of
rural buildings fertilizing substances, apparatus
and Instruments for hunting.
Congress has provided free transportation to
Paris for goods and show cases in which to ex-
hibit goods at the exposition as well as competent
officers and guards TO take care Of them.
Judging by the great number Of claims that are
daily received at the Office Of the paymaster gem
erai those who believed themselves to be entitled
to the bounty allowance under the act of July IS,
1866, entertain the impression that much will be
gained by securing the entrance of their claims to
file ID the Office at the earliest possible day. This is
an error. The wise and the prudent among them
viii defer renting their claims and papers to the
authorities here until they learn the requirements
Of the regulations which are to govern the pay
Ineflt of these claims These regulations may ma
terialiy affect the character and forms of applica-
ton, in which case the last claims received will
most probably be the first settled, while those
already on file may need TO be returned for neces-
sary changes. Nothing is gained to the claimants
but on the contrary much time may be lost; and
The examination, etc, upon claims may be greatly
hindersd BY every haste in submitting them for
file. 1s7,.agi H. ,5,. t4ss IS 81 .ss 4
