BAPTIST TABERNACLE EXHIBITION.
i An exhibition of an interesting character is proceeding at the Tabernacle. It is one ip which the children of all the Baptist Sunday-schools in the Auckland district, representing about 1000 scholars, were invited to compete for certificates and awards, and a most imposing array of articles is the result. The exhibition was formally opened yesterday afternoon by Mr C. E. Buttan, who observed that he believed it to be the first of its kind in the colony. Mr F. N. Andrews, the president of the executive, occupied the chair at the opening ceremony, and stated that the idea of holding the exhibition originated wi#h Mr G. *C. Garlick, the secretary of the Tabernacle Sundayschool, whose right-hand man had been Mr T. P. Hill. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Joseph Clark, and a portion of Scripture was read by the Rev. J. B. Sneyd. Then the "Old Hundredth" was sung, followed by the solo, "There is a Flower that Bloometh," by Mr W. AsplnaJl,** and an instrumental quartette! The exhibition is arranged under the following sections:- Cabinetmaking and woodwork, model boats, ohotographs, curio collection, works of art, needlework (plain and fancy), electrical apparatus, table decorations, cookery, sweets, plants and vegetables, and domestic pets. In the side.rooms are working models, galvanic batteries, phonograDhs.. stereoscopes, ping-pong tables, Punch and Judy show, and other attractions. Awards are given to the cleverest exhibitors in the j various, classes, in addition to ornament!ed certificates, bearing photographs of the competing schools. The D.S^C. have lent an upright grand piano for the concerts, and among honorary exhibits Are collections of curios from Ceylon and Japan lent by the Rev. W. Gray Dixon and Mrs 1 horn. The four Baptist schools of the city have charge of the refreshments, taking turns of a day each.
