The attendance at the exhibition has now reached 1,526,027, and still crowds are coming. The khiema theatre in the New Zealand Government Pavilion is expecting shortly to register an .attendance of 250,000, and the lucky visitor who makes up this total will be presented with a bound album of New Zealand views. The attendance at the Art Gallery has passed the 100,000 mark. There has lately been added a fine collection of contemporary medals, medallions, and shields bj a well-known London firm, which is displayed in the section devoted to sculpture. Theie is a possibility that »F. J Ricketts, conductor of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Band will return after the exhibition to settle in New Zealand. "The Dominion appeals to me very greatly,” he told a reporter, “and I think I will come back to live in some part of it The band is to go abroad on its return home, and I intended to leave its service in any case.”
