re the Commission and admitted that certain
examiners and jurors had been selected, without reference to the
Commission, to pass upon exhibits of a perishable character. In
three communications, each bearing the date of June 3, 1904, you
transmitted the names of the jurors referred to, and in the
light of the explanations made by the director of exhibits and
in your communications, the Commission, with many misgivings as
to the regularity of the proceedings and solely to avoid
embarrassment to the exhibitors and to the company, approved the
names submitted as of the date of their selection by the
company.

Aside from the few jurors thus irregularly selected for
emergency work, no jurors were nominated or submitted to the
Commission as required by the rules and regulations prior to
August 1.

The first list of group jurors was transmitted in your
communication bearing date of August 10, delivered to the
Commission about August 15, and the last list was transmitted to
this Commission on October 27.

The respective dates of your letter transmitting nominations of
group jurors and the respective dates of the receipt of the same
by the Commission are as follows:
