It is estimated that if the','shop' windows'.'display was-not being provided \for,' buildings-of an area-at least fivo times as great would have been required. As the timo approaches for the collective, exhibition and the display, much greater enthusiasm is being shown in the movement by both manufacturers and shopkeepers. It has practically-been-decided by the spaco committee to. recommend that tho building of an annex should be proceeded with at once, in order to provide for a numbor of applications in excess of those anticipated for the main building: Though'applications for space were tp; have_ closed on Wednesday, numerous inquiries are still reaching' th o secretary,' and efforts 1 are to- be "made to accommodate all intending- exhibitors. Generally, the exhibits will be; of a very/varied and interesting character, and' will comprise an extensivo and attractive show. The question ,of tho erection of the tea room will .be considered to-dav, when the general management committee will meet - reports from tho'various sub-committees. . . .
