ELECTRIC SANDWICHES.

THE EXHIBITION RESTAURANT.

Visitors to the great International Exhibition, which will open in Dunedin on November 17. especially those who have booked accommodaton for bed and breakfast only, will be interested in the exhibition restaurant which is nearing completion behind the secondary industries pavilion. Tlie restaurant will seat 800 diners at one time and they will be able to obtain anything from light refreshments to a full-course dinner. It will be electrically equipped throughout, even to new machines which spread and cut bread for sandwiches without the loaf being touched by the hand. Stairs inside the big dome in front of the festival hall lead to a spacious tearoom from which visitors will be able to observe the passing crowds in the grand court, listen to the famous Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders' band, or watch the fun in the amusement zone. Eight pairs of French windows lead from the dome to the walks on the roofs of the colonnades on each side connecting the dome with the neighbouring pavilions, and refreshments will also be obtainable at these vantage points. Visitors who will not be staying with friends should arrange accommodation direct through the Exhibition Accommodation Bureau, w-hich offers all clasr-es at very reasonable rates. A few have been making inquiries from private individuals and as these are all passed on to the bureau, delay is caused to no advantage.

It is not only those on pleasure bent who are booking for the Exhibition—to judge by one well-known manufacturer who has arranged accommodation in Dunedin for the whole period of the Exhibition —hut, of course, to hundreds of thousands of people all over the Dominion it means the chance of the greatest holiday of their lives; magnificent pavilions and courts with wonderful exhibits brought by the big steamers from the far corners of the world, a world-famous band, carnival nights in the great festival hall, excitement and thrills on the big scenic railway, and dozens of other attractions in a wonderful amusement zone. No matter whether the visitor spends a week or a month at the great Exhibition there will be some new pleasure to be discovered every day.
