Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners to the Exposition at Vienna: February 1874
As the commissions of the several appointees did not issue until the 20th of March, and the letter of instructions drawn up for the guidance of the Commissioner was dated subse quently to that time, it naturally followed, as the Exposition was opened upon the day (may 1) which had been designated, that before arriving on the ground the Commissioners had no opportunity to confer with each other. They could not, therefore, decide Upon any line of conduct, nor in anyway organize in advance, either to aid the Massachusetts exposi tors or to agree upon a division of their work. In point of fact, they first met at Vienna several weeks after the Exposi tion was open to the public, and about the time that the American department began 'to assume an appearance of order.
