The former referred to the apathy shown by Wellington exhibitors, and pointed out that the Exhibition was a colonial and not a local affair. It would be the fault of the Wellington people themselves if they found that they were erushed out by other centres of population. Mr E. W. Mills (chairman of the Committee) said that they intended to make fresh exertions next week, and he believed that they would obtain further applications for space.
