N.Z. PAVILION AT GLASGOW

PROMPT UNLOADING Off EXHIBITS LATE ARRIVAL OP YIW (non OCT OCT COUIffOUIUI.) LONDON; April 2S. Rapid work was necessary on lit arrival of the RangitUri from New Zaa» land recently to ensure that luppH—for the Dominion’s pavilion at the Empire Exhibition should be In GSuSEnP with the least possible delay. Ran gitiki had on board 40 cases of urgently needed material tor the imbibition, which is to open In a foeh* night’s time, and as she was two day* late; did not arrive until 4 pm. on the day before Good Friday. Through the co-operation of ffaa Hear Zealand Shipping Company and fha London and North Eastern Railway Company, it was possible to get the cases ashore in little more thaw ax hour after the vessel's arrival and to rush them by special train to connect with a train leaving London foe Scot land. But for this prompt work the material would probably not base been available in Glasgow untu after the Easter holidays. _ _ , _ It seems likely that New Zealand Will be the only Dominion which will be able to keep within an agreed limit for expenditure on the exhibition. BP cent for Canada, the Dominions uirtk ally planned not to spend more thaX £IO,OOO each, but most of them, bavo already overspent this amount. This is the first time that the nrgarfc isation of a New Zealand display such magnitude has been camed o® by the normal Government staffs In London. The preparation of the pangh lion is under the charge of Mr TL A. Drew and his staff in the pobliatr department at the High CawnigduMfl Office, while displays of their own prsa ducts are being arranged ter the wm ous New Zealand produce boards and divisions in. London. During the caff hibition the New Zealand pavilion viO be in charge of Mr J. HL Hall, fawnah editor of the “Dominion.** WeJHngtn*.
