THE DUNEDIN EXHIBITION.
[per pkess association.] Received January 24th, 11.30 p.m.
Melbourne, January 24,
' In consequence of the eagerness of British manufacturers to show their goods at the Dunedin Exhibition, Mr Twopeny has determined to admit them at the rate of half-a-crown per foot of space. At a luncheon given by the President of the Melbourne Exhibition, Mr Twopeny responded to the toast of the Colonies. He gave reasons why the prospects of New Zealand for the next five years are better than those of other Colonies. The proposed Exhibition at Dunedin was, he considered, a sign that the tide had at last turned. The return of prosperity was due not merely to the unfortunate drought in Australia, but to a general increase of all industries in the Colony. He urged the importance of securing closer relations with the Pacific Islands by means of the Exhibition. Mr Twopeny was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his speech. '
