THE BUDAPESTH GENERAL NATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1885.

GROUP I.

Invitation concerning the International Exhibition of Seeds, Cattle-food, and Manure.

In conformity with a bill submitted to the Hungarian legislature by Count Paul Széchényi, royal Hungarian minister of agriculture, commerce, and industry, a law (XII, 1883) has been passed for the purpose of instituting a General National Exhibition, to be held in Budapesth, the same having on the 9th of March, 1883, received the sanction of His Imperial and Apostolic Royal Majesty Francis Joseph I.

By this law the Budapesth General National Exhibition, to be held in the year 1885, has not only been placed under the patronage of the Hungarian Government, but has been declared a national question; the Government being charged with the preparatory and organizatory works as well as with the direction of this exhibition.

This general committee will be presided by Dr. Alexander Matlekovits, secretary of state, while Count Eugén Zichy, president of the National Industrial Society, will be second president, and Dr. Julius Schnierer, ministerial consular, will be director of the committee.

The general committee, all by maintaining the limited character of the exhibition, intending to produce in the first line only as complete and faithful a picture as possible of the natural and industrial products of Hungary, has decided to organize simultaneously with, and within the limits of the General National Exhibition an International Exhibition of Seeds, Cattle-food, and Manure, with the participation of any foreign country.

The object of this international exhibition is to acquaint the Hungarian agriculturists with foreigh produces; and, in the interest of the interchange of seeds, also with foreign places of import, and generally to give a clear picture of foreign agricultural production, whereby opportunity shall be given to foreigners to procure themselves a favorable market for their produces in Hungary.
