THE WORLDS FAIR.

ON house. It was in regard to consign-
nent of nails, iron beams and building ma
erials sent over by Belgian firm on the
worlds fair grounds. The law permits the
rec entry of all goods intended for exhibi-
ion purposes, but it was a question with
The collector whether these materials,
which will be hidden in the building and |
cannot, therefore, be exhibits, were en-
titled to free entry. The collector finally |
came to the conclusion that the goods were |
duty free provided the director general &C.
cepts them for use within the exposition |
If sold after the exposition
closes duties will have to be paid.
