 As have received the appointment of honorary alternate commissioner of colored exhibits for the State of Connecticut with full power to act for the Worlds exhibition to be held at New Orleans, I would earnestly ask that all who may have exhibits to send may send them at once that they may reach me before December 9th, as no goods can be sent after that date.
 No expense of freight or boxing will be attached to the exhibitor, as I will pay all freight bills as they are sent to me at the shipping of the goods. The goods should be carefully marked or tagged with full name of exhibitor, full list of goods, postofice ad- dress and whether for sale or to be returned.
