Visitors are already arriving for tile holiday season, and the special arrangements for tho Christmas and New' Year period arc being regarded with interest by those who intend spending their spare time among the varied amusements and entertainments. Tho Exhibition will bo open on Christmas Day, when special programmes will be given by the Royal Artillery Band. On Boxing Niglit there will be given tho first display of fireworks—a "spectacle arranged on an unusually lavish scale, and ranging in its items from set picccs (including the siege of Adrianople) to big fights and bouquets of rockets and groups of explosive shells.

Tlio Christmas season will not be marked by special events, as the management consider that the timo is one v.'lion tlio people find their greatest pleasure at sncli a placo in entertaining themselves anions; the side-shows; but on January 3 there will be a magnificent iloral carnival, for which very numerous entries are being received. On January 3 and 5, a military tourna--ment is being held in Auckland, .and Territorials all oyer the Dominion are being granted special facilities for the trip north, to tlio extent of free carriage on the railways, reduced steamer fares, and free tent accommodation in Auckland.
