DUNEDIN EXHIBITION

NEW MARLBOROUGH COURT By Telegbaph/—PkEsp Association Dunedin, February 12. The new Marlborough court at the exhibition is a wonderful improvement on the open stand, by which at first the province was represented. Above the front entrance a golden sun is rising, and in bold lettering appears the title "Marlborough, the Gofden.” A golden motif is carried right through the colouring scheme of the walls, the canopied ceilings, and the general internal decoration. Two fine deer heads flank the front entrance, facing which is a big arch formed of the huge lower jawbones of a right whale. The side entrance arch is thatched with sheaves of Marlborough oats and flanked with heads of wild goats. A big boar’s head graces another part of the walls. The exhibits of cereals, wool, sheepskins, hemp, butter, cheese, wine, and other products of a fertile province have been artistically rearranged in the new court, and the walls display a fine selection of oil paintings and photographs, some of the latter beautifully 'coloured, of pastoral and agricultural scenes and scenic and sporting attractions of Marlborough.
