tion of the merit of the exhibit under
consideration.

8. Each group jury shall carefully examine all exhibits
pertaining to the group to which it has been assigned. It shall
also consider and pass upon the merits of the collaborators
whose work may be conspicuous in the design, development, or
construction of the exhibits.

The jury shall prepare separate lists presenting the names of
such exhibitors as are out of competition, awards recommended to
exhibitors in order of merit, awards recommended to
collaborators in order of merit, a report giving an account of
the most important objects exhibited, and a general account of
the group as a whole.

These papers shall be certified to the chief of the department
to which the group belongs, and the chief of the department
shall certify the same, with such recommendations as he may deem
advisable, to the department jury.

9. In order to expedite their work group juries may be divided
into committees for the examination of exhibits.

These committees shall be governed by paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of
rule 8, just cited; when they have completed the work assigned
them they shall report to the full jury, which shall review the
findings after an inspection of all the exhibits in the group.

10. When the exigencies of the work require such procedure, and
when recommended by a chief of a department and approved by the
director of exhibits, two or more group juries may be combined.

11. In the case of temporary exhibits and such other exhibits as
are developed through a considerable period of time, or which
for other reasons can not be governed by the time limits
prescribed, the juries of such groups may continue in service
throughout the entire period of the exposition. Special juries
may be formed when urgently needed for special occasions.

At the close of each temporary exhibit or competition the jury
having the same in charge shall prepare a list of awards
proposed in order of merit and shall certify the same to the
chief of the department to which the exhibit pertains.

Special awards for such temporary exhibits or competitions may
be provided by the chief of the department to which the exhibits
belong, on the approval of the director of exhibits and the
president of the Exposition Company.
