character Of the coming Exhibition
will be marked by the inct that, on
the French side at least, none but the most
eminent producers will be permitted to cx-
hibit, 80 That the show will be au cpitomc Of
the choice products OF an districts, and not
an Immense and indiscrimihate asscmblage,
as is the case Of local exhibitions. 1t Is uu-
dcrstood this severe rule will be applied by
cur neighbors to every class Of the Exhibi-
tion, and If 20, which VIC have no reason to
doubt, the French side will present an ap-
pearancc equally Interesting and formidable.
Nothing but similar judcious selection will
place. England or any other nation In an
equally advantageous position. The ugri-
cultural products Of France are to be
grouped, in three regions; first, that Of
wheat second; that Ir;. Of wheat ,1,I nnd vine;
