THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.
■ft The Industrial Exhibition continues to attract crowds of visitors and there is only one verdict concerning it—that it is in every respect a marked and unqualified success. Some highly interesting exhibits have just been received from the South and will prove of great interest to visitors. Messrs Scott Bros., of Christchurch, who have a contract from the Government for tho manufacture of locomotives, send up a complete set of brass fittings. The finish of the workmanship leaves nothing; to be desired. Messrs Anderson and Morrison, of Dunedin, who, it will be remembered, were tho successful tenderers for the supply of the gasfittings to the Auckland Free Public Library,'sends up an ingenious champagne stand, which will keep an opened Lottie ef Roederer or Krug fresh and evervescent. Among other special exhibits we noticed an excellent sample of Bermuda arrowroot, grown by Mr C. Sutton at Newmarket. This if something that should interest those who have been thinking of the starch industry. The yield is, we understand, very large.
