MOTIVE POWER FOR EXHIBITS. 16. Motive power will be supplied to suitable exhibits free on application to the Executive Commissioners, but the latter reserve to themselves the power to reduce the amount asked for, or to make a charge for a certain portion of the motive power supplied, if they consider necessary. The Executive Commissioners desire to encourage the display of machinery in motion, and of all descriptions of manufactures, &c., in progress, and they will endeavour to provide adequate power to meet all reasonable demands. By the introduction of steam power it is proposed to afford facilities for presenting not only the machinery for any given manufactures, but also the processes of manufacture. Requests for motive power must be made to the Executive Commissioners prior to 31st March, 1888. 17. All shafting, pulleys, belting, connections, &c., for the transmission of power from the main shafting must be provided by and at the cost of the exhibitor. 18.

In order, however, to reduce the danger of fire to a minimum, a special fire brigade will be formed, and be available, in connection with the Exhibition, from the time of the reception of exhibits to its close. INSURANCE, &c. 23. Facilities will be afforded the representatives of countries and colonies, and private exhibitors, for insuring their goods; and they may also employ watchmen, at their own expense, to guard their goods during the hours the Exhibition is open to the public.

No exhibit will be allowed to compete for awards which is not entered in the Official Catalogue, in one or other of its editions, unless the exhibitor is able to prove to the satisfaction of the Executive Commissioners that the omission to enter it' in the Catalogue arose from the delay in its arrival, or is due to causes arising subsequently to its despatch from its place of origin, and entirely beyond his own control.

Where no nominations are made, the Executive Commis¬ sioners of Victoria shall themselves make the appointments, and such person or persons so appointed shall severally represent on the Jury to which he or they shall be appointed the interests of the country for which the appointment has been made. 11. In the case of any country (other than Victoria) exhibiting in great variety a large collection (not being duplicates) of Fine Arts, Industrial Exhibits, Machinery, or Agricultural Implements, the Executive Commissioners retain the right to allow, or otherwise, a further addition of one representative or more to the Jury or Juries nominated by the country so exhibiting, such additional nomination to be made by the country concerned. 12.

The Commissioners will have nothing to do with the warehousing and preservation of the empty cases; neither have any arrangements been made, nor any space reserved, for the purpose. Exhibitors who may be unable to provide for the removal and preservation of their empty cases are advised to communicate with the Secretary. GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS. 7. Certain products, which it may be found impossible to display in the main buildings, will in some exceptional cases be exhibited in the surrounding parks and gardens, in buildings erected for the purpose. 8.
