THE EXHIBITION.

The admissions yesterday totalled 4,30, i, of whom 2,54 i) paid at the turnstiles ami 1,254 were holders of season tickeh. There was a free orchestral concert yesterday afternoon, and the Engineers' Baicl performed in the Woollen Court in thu evening.

The piece for the band contest is from Ros3ini'sopera ' LeComte Ory.' The ' North Otago Times' saya that it was put ir, practice last ni»ht by the Oamaru Nawd Artillery's Band, and the general opinio-, 1 was that it did not give sufficient scope lor the display of the various instruments; being, in fact, too light a piece for an important contest like that to take place at Duned'n. The selection was published some years ago for the Trawden contest. We are requested to state that Mr 3 Meyer will not be at home in the New Sou ,hj %Va!es Court to-morrow.
