CHICAGO EXHIBITION.

TO THE KDITOII. Sir— Eoplyiug to Mr. Thomas Gale's very -Wo letter of tho 25th ult. on tho abovo ••übject, tho Hon. tho Minister of Minos '-ml— "I hopo to bo ablo to afford the Home an oarly opportunity of discus"•lnij tho wholo question of the representation of tho colony at the Exhibition, «o that some definito decision may bo :irri\oil at." As tho time for opening tho K-tiibitiou is now near at hand, viz., Ist i!ay, ISOo, I submit. Sir, the subjoct is ono 1 f moro than passing importance and should w ithont f nrthor delay command tho attontion of tho House, und its decision theroon be at fnco made known. I foci quite confident the Minister who has charge of tho witter wonld not wittingly inflict an nimstico on intending exhibitors, but tiiio, I fear, will inevitably bo the caso if tho natter is much longer dolaycd. Should the ilooision of tho Houso bo adverso to tho suitaWo representation of tho colony, tho timo at the disposal of intondhig exhibitors would ™ so limited as to prcoludo satisfactory arransomenU being made for space with tho wighbonrintr colouios, and they would bo ton' slmt out from cither competition or exhibition. I am, &c, Intending Exhibitor. Wellington, ISth August, 1592.
