Her Majesty's commissioners point out that the proposed annual international exiibitions will differ materially from those which have pre- ceded them. These will be comparatively limi- ted in extent. The objects will be selected by competent judges before they are adwitied, Only a few classes of industrial objects will bo admitted each year. The arrangements will be in classes, without reference to nationalities as heretofore. The exhibitors will be relieved of all ch: care of objects duri q rt arrangi taki their ing the. exhibitions. “It is: intended that exhibitions shall be on the ist of ay and closed punctuallyon the 30th of Sep~ —__—_.ee-—___ Tae Texxessxe Convention.—The work of the Tenncssee Constitutional Convention thus Governor a limited ve regular sessions, and twenty days session, prohibiting the State from its credits or tts bonds in ald ralvond find wach like ine ements; 414 . fy ja pve dy by the people; making universal the franchise, with prepayment of poll-tax required before voting.
