At the conclusion of the recital of the manner of selecting the jurors a paragraph in section 3 of the rules provides that “all the above nominations shall be made not later than August 1, 1904, except that nominations made to fill vacancies may be made at any subsequent time.”

“The nominations of group jurors and alternates, when approved by the president of the exposition, shall be transmitted to the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission for approval of that body.

“These nominations having been considered and confirmed by the authorities as provided by section 6 of the act of Congress relating to the approval of the awarding of premiums, the appointment of the international jury shall be made in accordance with section 6 of Article XXII of the official rules and regulations of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company.”

    Section 6 of the aforesaid special rules provides that—­

    “The work of the group juries shall begin September 1, 1904, and
    shall be completed not later than twenty days thereafter.”

    Section 15 of the special rules and regulations provides that—­

    “The superior jury shall determine finally and fully the awards
    to be made to exhibitors and collaborators in all cases that are
    formally presented for its consideration.”

    Section 16 of the special rules and regulations provides that—­

“The work of the superior jury shall be completed on October 15, 1904, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, formal public announcement of the awards shall be made.  A final complete list of awards shall be published by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of the act of Congress, and section 6, Article XXII, of the rules and regulations.”

“The diplomas or certificates of award for exhibitors shall be signed by the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, the president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, the secretary of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, the director of exhibits, and the chief of the department to which the exhibit pertains.”
