EXHIBITION’S VALUE

NEW ATTRACTIONS EVERY DAY

By Telegbahh—Press Association

Dunedin, January 20.

Weeks of glorious weather have helped forward the extraordinary success of the Exhibition, which up to the second day of the ninth week shows an attendance record of 1,118,377. The big attraction to-day was the second display by the Bov Scouts encamped at Tahuna Park. The first display on Alonday attracted a big crowd to the Exhibition sports ground, ttie people evidently, being greatly interested in the various branches of Scout craft illustrated. The Hon. R. Boyd, Fiji Commissioner, in the course of a radio broadcast talk, said: “I am afraid it would tax j’our patience to give at any length my impressions of the magnitude, beauty, and educational value of the Exhibition. The hundred and one attractions of the Amusements Park beggar description. The Exhibition is too stupendous, too kaleidoscopic, ■to adequately translate into words. It lias to be seen to be realised. It has to be seen, not once, but many times, for one finds new attractions every dav, some unexplored nook, some interesting exhibit hitherto unnoticed I can only sav. to you who have not vet seen the Exhibition to let nothing stand in your, way of coming to Dunedin and of seeing the greatest Exhibition ever projected and carried out in anv part of our great Empire in the Southern Hemisphere.”
