(SI tELBORAPH.—SPECIAL TO THH POST.)

DUNEDIN, This Day. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Band sailed from England for tho Exhibition at Dunedin on the Rotorua on 25th September. There are forty men in the band. Bandmaster F. Ricketts has thirty years' service.

1 Mr. Ernest ■ Bruce, representing the Canadian Pacific Railway, has arrived to act as director of the C.P.R.'s display at tho Exhibition. Forty thousand square feet of space will be occupied, and the cost lo the C.P.R. is estimated at £8000. Tho nature of the exhibits .is to be much on the same lines as at Wembley. v

Although Captain S. Graham and Ca-p----lain 11. Moore, who aro in charge of the British' Government Court at the Exhibition, only arrived in Duneclin a few days ago, they have already made their presence felt as far as (ha cxliibit is concerned. Yesterday a number of awes caiuo. to hand from the Ra.ranga, including twenty-ono models of British cathedrals, which have been lent, by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral, where they have been on view for many years. Captain jUoorc stated the models were exhibited at tho Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851. Ho added that they were made of some malleable material, the nature of which remained a, mystery.

The decorativo frieze, the subject matter of which is the. history nnd growth of the British people, designed hy Waurico Oresffenhagen, R.A., was also opened yesterday inorning. Captain Moore said some anxiety was being caused because of the important exhibits that had been shipped on the Tongariro, which is making Lyttelton her first port of call. This will probably be held up unless the seamen's strike is settled.
