EXHIBITION LIGHTING, Etc.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l beg to direct attention to the very unsatisfactory manner in which the Education and Science Court is lighted at night. So bad was it last night that objects could only be dimly seen, and as I am writing on this subject I may as well refer to the very impolitic procedure of lowering the lights so early in the evening. The fact is that the attempt is being made of turning the Exhibition in the evening into a place of amusement pure and simple. If this kind of thing goes on, the shareholders need not bo surprised at finding a huge deficit at the close. A call is being made on shareholders just now, when they should see to it that the legitimate object of the Exhibition be more distinctively carried out. A little more of the present administration, and its becoming known throughout New Zealand and Australia, and good-bye to the amazing influx of visitors that was expected, and in such numbers that fear was expressed accommodation would not be found for them.—l am, etc., Observer. Dunedin, December 6.
