ays after the receipt thereof, certify the same to the superior jury, including such work as may have been left incomplete by the department jury. The officers and members of the superior jury shall be as follows: President, the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company; first vice-president, the director of exhibits; second vice-president, a citizen of the United States to be named by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission.
