Exhibits from the United States will be located in indus- trial groups corresponding to the department classification. Foreign exhibits will be displayed in groups according to their respective nationalities. The system of awards will be competitive, merit being determined by Group, Department and Superior (Interna- tional) Juries, and manifested by the issuance of diplomas divided into six classes; a grand prize, a medal of honor, a gold medal, a silver medal, a bronze medal, and an honor- able mention (without medal).
