INTRODUCTION . . . ▼ ▼▼ The Directors of the Montreal Exposition Company have decided tcj hold their Sixth Provincial Exhibition in Montreal from Thursday, the 19th, to Saturday, the 28th, August next. In the latter part of July 1896 a disastrous fire occurred on the Grounds which des- troyed the Crystal Palace, (which was originally erected on the occasion of the visit of H R. H. the Prince of Wales, to Canada in 1860), the Machinery Hall and other buildings to the number of ten in all. Notwithstanding the serious loss and mconye- nience to which the Company was thus put, a new and commodious Industrial Build- ing was at once erected and the Exhibition was held on the date originally fixed. It is the intention of the Company to erect such other buildings as may be required in the future on the most improved and modem plans. This being the Diamond Jubilee year, the Directors confidently trust that manufac- turers and the public generally, will lend their hearty assistance in contributing towards the success of the Exhibition and thus aid making it an event worthy of the occasion. It will be noted that the date of the Exhibition has been somewhat advanced, and this change has been made with a view of affording greater convenience to exhibitors and in the hope of securing more favorable weather. The large number of visitors who come to the Exhibition, presents a strong indu- cement for leading firms to make an elaborate display of their manufactures. Even if no pecuniary advantage be gained, the Directors earnestly trust that for the credit of the City and the Province that our important industries will be worthily repre- sented. The Directors confidently hope that all will assist in making the Montreal Exhibition a permanent and progressive institution. The Directors will be pleased to receive any special prizes or contributions towards increasing the Premium List, as well as any suggestions that may tend to increase the importance and usefulness of the Exhibition.

If a creditable display is not maintained in any space that may be sold or allotted, the space may be declared forfeited. The leaving of a sign or stand does not entitle exhibitor'^ to occupy the same space on future occasions.

All exhibits, except Live Stock and Poultry, must be in position by 6 /. m, en Wed- nesday \%th August, and the latter must be on the Groundi by 10 a. m. on Monday, 23rd August. Exhibitors on arriving with their exhibits will apply to the Superintendent of the Department, by whom they will be informed where these are to be placed. Arranj^'ements have been made with the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways, by which all exhibits will be returned /rifi? of charge to the Stations from which they were shipped, provided they have not changed ownership and that the charges have been pre- paid to Montreal. Exhibitors in all cases must provide for the delivery of their exhibits on the Grounds. Articles not accompanied by their owners may be addressed to the Superintendent of the Department on the Grounds ; all charges on these must be prepaid. Exhibitors are expected, at all times, to give the necessary attention to their exhibits, and at the close take entire charge of the same.

All cases and packing materials must be cleared away before the opening. Judges and Judging. The Judges will be appointed by the Board of Directors. Judges, when reporting to the Superintendent of Department, will receive badges. Superintendents will point out to the Judges the articles or animals to be inspected, and cause the same to be displayed in their proper places and at the proper time. No person will be allowed to act as Judge who is in any way known to be interested in the animals or articles to be examined. Judges are not to award prizes other than those mentioned in the Prize list, but may distinguish exhibits deserving of notice which have not received prizes, by a special com- mendation in the Judges' Book. This will not entitle the exhibitor to any money payment. In the absence of competition in any section, or if the exhibits be of inferior quality, the Judges will award only such premium as they think advisable, and they may exercise their discretion as to whether they will award the first, second, third, or any premium. Each award must be plainly written on the blank space opposite the number of the 8 The Judges will sign and hand in their awards to the Superintendents as soon as possible. The reports should be concise and full, and should contain any suggestions or recommendations that experience or circumstances may suggest. It is desired tha*! all the Judges of each class go together, and not singly, to hand in their Report, in order that cases of error or doubt may be jointly considered and promptly rectified. Any person who shall attempt to interfere with the Judges while in the discharge of their duties, or who shall afterwards on the Exhibition Grounds use any contemptuous or abusive language to any Judge, referee or c.her person engaged in an official manner, shall forfait the right to any premium to which he might otherwise be entitled. Judges are particularly requested to immediately report any breach of this rule. In case of Fraud, the Directors have the power to withhold any prizes awarded. No person shall be permitted in the Horse or Cattle Rings during the time of judging except the Judges, persons in charge of the animals, members of the Committee and members of the Press. Protests. Protests must be made in writing, and must state the class and section of the entry referred to, and must give definitely and concisely the ground of protest. The envelope containing protest must be endorsed with the number of class and section to which it refers. The Directors will decide in all such cases, and their decision will be final. All protest must be made within twenty-four hours of the Judges' award, after which no protest will on any account be received. No protest will be entertained unless accompanied by a deposit of $6, which will be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Miscellaneous. The Directors reserve the right to prescribe and regulate all matters pertaining to the harmony and attractiveness of the Exhibition. Each Department will be under the control of a special Committee presided over by one of the Directors. All signs will be under the control of the management ; those which obstruct the view and light will not be permitted. Exhibits which cause any obstruction must be re-arranged when so ordered. The wholesale distribution of hand-bills or other advertising matter that may cause a nuisance will not be allowed. Neat cards or folders are more affective and apt to be carried away by visitors. All Prize cards which have been awarded must remain attached to the exhibit during the Exhibition, otherwise the premium will be forfeited. The Contractors for refreshments, fodder and all other articles must furnish their supplies before 8.30 a.m. each day. After this hour all must pay 60c. each vehicle for each admission.

Visitors wishing to ascend the Mountain can do so by means of the Park Incline Railway. The Exhibition is easy of access, being an agreable walk from the city, or can be reached in a few minutes by the several lines of Electric railway. Visitors will find on the Grounds everything necessary for the convenience and com- fort of young or old.

(Entry Fee, 6 entries and under 50c., 5 to 15 entries f 1.00., over 16 entries $2.00. It is desired that this Department should be made most interesting and attractive. Exhibitors who do not desire to come themselves may mail their entries and send their work by express or parcel-post, and can rely upon their work being displayed to the best advantage, and carefully repacked and returned, within three days after the exhibition closes. Address : — Superintendent Ladies' Dept., Exhibition Grounds, Montreal. By this means it is hoped that all mistakes will be avoided and that exhibits will be arranged to the best advantage. Suitable glass cases have been provided, so that the most delicate articles may be exhibited without injury. All entries in this Department may be made on the Grounds, and exhibitors should bring the articles with them in order that they may be correctly classified. For this purpose the Superintendent will be on duty in the Ladies' Department, Main Building, from noon on Tuesday, the 1 7th August and following days. Articles exhibited in collections cannot compete in other sections. Work entered and handed in, after the opening, may be exhibited, but cannot compete for a prize. In all cases the Judges will have the right to withhold any prize, where the work is not of sufficient merit, even if there be competition. All articles competing in this Department must be the work of the exhibitor, strictly the work of ladies or children, and entered in the name of such. As attempts have frequently been made to obtain prizes on old articles, which have been previously exhibited, exhibitors are particularly requested to note that articles, which have been awarded prizes at former Montreal Exhibitions, cannot be entered for compe- tition. Any exhibitor may be required to make a statutory declaration that the work exhibited by her is of her own make and has not been awarded a prize at any previous Montreal Exhibition. The Company will take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of articles sent for ■s-a 6i exhibition, but the owners themselves must take the risk of exhibiting them ; and should any article be accidentally injured, lost or stolen, the Exposition Company will give all the assistance in their power towards the recovery of the same, but WILL NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT for the value thereof. Removal of goods : — Exhibits may be removed at noon on Saturday, 28th August. The Prize List has been remodelled, and the classification rearranged as follows : Class 127.— China Painting and Decorative Work (open to Ama- teurs only.)
