THE OTAGO COURTS, (Continued,)

THE NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY,

Is there, we wonder, among the thousands of boys who have walked down the eastern avenue, one who has of his own free will passed by the New Zealand Shipping Company's bay ? Very few, if any, we should think. The modelstherein shown are as fascinating to a boy as dolls are to a girl, and would claim attention were they but imaginary conceptions. But these models are something more than that: they are faithfully drawn to scale, and represent to a nicety not only the exact proportions, but the very likeness of the vessels of which they are the miniatures. This makes them valuable, and worthy of study by the shipbuilder as well as of admiration by the boy. On the walls are j placed half models, on boards, of the Otaki and the Mataura, and another hull which ahows the lines of the sister ships Opawa, Piako, and Wanganui. These deserve close attention, as demonstrating the latest principles, by the adoption of which the shipbuilder secures a maximum of speed with great stability, while at the same time sacrificing nothing in cargo-carrying capacity or passenger accommodation. Underneath these we have the half model of the Tongariro, one of that grand fleet of steamers of which it was recently recorded that they had gone round the world seventy-five times without an accident, or the los 3 of a life, or the slightest deviation from the time tables, excepting that in some cases the passages had been done in less than the prescribed time—a splendid record that testifies not only to the seamanship and navigating abilities of the ship's officers, but also to the excellent work put into the vessels by the builders, the Fairfield Engineering and Shipbuilding Company, formerly known as John Elder and Co. The Ruapehu and Aorangi are sister ships to the Tongariro. Alongside these models we observe two valuable water-color paintings, one representing the Tongariro and the other the Ruapehu under steam and sail; and hard by is an oil painting of the Piako under all plain sail. These pictures wIU be noticed by our art critic on the first convenient opportunity. The chief of the company's exhibits is, however, the complete model of the Kaikoura, shown in a large case mounted on a couple of capstans. In this model we have not only a perfect iiull, moulded to scale, but a precise aepresentation of the vessel's hurricane and main decks and spars. It is altogether a very fine piece of work, involving much labor and thought in reproducing to a nicety even such small matters <oI detail a3 the gratings in the boats. This model cost a large sum of money, and is csrtaluly one of the sights of the Exhibition, J. WILKIE AND CO. Just below the City Corporation's space we come to a way the central feature of which is a collection of exhibits the product of J. Wilkio and Co. J s extensive workshop In Princes jstreot, in which, in .combination with a general stationer's and publishing imainess, there are complete appliances and & large staff of competent workmen engaged in the various operations of letterpress printing, paper ruling, account book manufacturing, general bookbinding, lithographing (colors a specialty), rubber stamp making, die sinking, and embossing. Messrs Wilkie and Co, have confidence in the ability of their workpeople, as proof whereof we see examples of their skill in all branches, not specially got tip for exhibition purposes, but fair specimens of work which can at all times be produced to order at this hive of industry. The middle part of the space is taken up with a large showcase, the most prominent objects in which are a small but ■uperior assortment of mercantile books, Notice is naturally directed in the first place to two ledgers made to the order of Messrs A. Briscoe and Co. They are of super-royal size; Saunders's best hand-made paper, ruled to pattern ; bound an f«U calf, with Russia bands, titled respectively A to L, No. 9, and M to Z, No. 10; bound at the foot with massive brass shields so as to ensure against wear and tear in handling. We have looked at these ledgers, and can find no fault with them; indeed they are quite equal to anythiug of the kind sent from either Melbourne or London. Another ledger, close by, is of the ssame size, but with double Russia bauds ] ■inlafled. It wag made to the instruction -of tfce National Bank, and is to all ap•pearatieoß a first-rate sample of workmanship, toeing not only substantial, but of high finish, worthy of comparison in this respect with anything of the kind we have scan. A current deposit account ledger, with culed and printed headings, is of Cowan's swyal book paper, bound in half calf, paged ■and titled. Here again we u&tc thoroughly good workmanship in both the letterpress and -binding departments. In order to give an atie'quate idea of the quality of the ruling and the ■ printing into the ruled lines that cau be •Sumed out at this establishment, Messrs ■Wilki6 and Co. show in this case a number •of open sheets, the production of which is a ■credit alike to the ruler and the printer. A •compositor cannot do this part of the v/ork fiatiflfactorily without good ruling, and the j ruler ia equally dependent on the careful snake up of the " forme." Here we see both workmen at their best, the lines and typework being accurately fitted to each other. A set of royal octavo private account books, consisting of ledger, journal, and cash book, bound in full purple with underlaid bands, are nicely finishfcdihroughout; and we must also mention another sat of medium quarto size private account books, ■ bound in half purple calf, with cloth sides ■ and marbled edg«3, as being a credit to the ; firm. Then we have a set of demy account books of hand-made paper, in full calf, and finished in a substantial way. The speci- ' mens -of letterpress binding include a' handsome and valuable copy of Izaak ' Walton's • The Complete Angler,' in whole morocco cover, with gilt edges ; and a copy of ' The Zealand Medical Journal,' entirely printed and bound by Messrs Wilkie and Co., is such as would not disgrace any firm in the world, the type being clear and .even in color, the toned paper of a superior quality, and the numerous illustrations faithully executed—an all-important consideration where surgical operations are the -abject. The exhibitors make a specialty of ocalty-written novelettes, and in this degmtmenifchey have on view copies of ' Mark Anderson,-' 'He Who Digged a Pit,' ■ e Colonists,' •* By Passion Driven,' ' Mihawhenua,' and ' Shavings and Scrapes'; while the colonial magazine ' Zealandia ' is also one of their production. Messrs Wilkie .and Co, have recently engaged %iv Bob JSawcridge, formerly with Alfred Cooke, of Leeds (chromo - lithographer to the ■Queen), and the several samples of his work are among the most attractive exhibits in this collection. We may refer specially to the covers for Nelson, Moate, and Co.'a circular, and to George jMatthcws's garden catalogue. The designs in these are truly artistic, and the colors •equal to the best work in the Old Country. rßeid and -Gray's catalogue, of fifty-six • demy quarto, ig another work that is a •credit to the firm, the lithographing and letterpress work being Al, and the illustra-

-tfon of the firm's manufactory (taken from a jphofco) very distinct. Round the walls of the bay one sees specimens of visiting cards, -cheque forms, promissory notes, debenture forms, and a large variety of general work, with which the critical cannot but be pleased. ~T. RHODES, dyer ami cleaner, and manufacturer of sheepskin rugs and mats, occupies .three of the inner walls of the same bay with pp assortment of mats and vugs that have, we should say, been thoroughly prepared. The ;«cticles made from sheepskin ave dyed in all ?tbe leading shades, and are a credit to the ananHfacturer, who, we are informed, Jiad , nine years' experience with John •Crockatf, of Perth, and was also connects with the Yorkshire Dyeworks. In order tp the »roper turning out of the work Mr Rho&3«; j lias put up a steam plant at his establish- j ment. "We observe on the walls a few | , ppossum-Bkin rugs prepared by .Mr Ehodes, 1

wlm is manifestly an expert in all branches of his business. DAVID SCOTT, sign writer, glass embosser, and leadlight maker, can point to examples of his skill all over the building, many exhibitors having entrusted to him the decorating of their spaces. His own show is on the front of the bay in which Wilkie and Co. exhibit. Mr Scott has made good use of his opportunity by fitting up this front with a choice assortment of art work. At the base we see two leadlights of ornamental design and in colors such as are adapted for the better class of church windows, and two other forms of the same kind of work stand at the sides of the front. The workmanship seems to be of a superior class. Inside these leadlights are a pair of embossed window panes, the designs being eaten out of the colorless glass with acids. Viewed in a good light, this embossing strikes one as being peculiarly chaste and correct from an art point of view, Overhead are two colored pictures, of antique character, in imitation of Btaining; and above all is the exhibitor's sign, bordered with handsome floral designs. Mr Scott has, we should say, made a profitable study of the higher branches of the decorator's art. THE MOSGIEL WOOLLEN COMPANY. The exhibits by this company are as well placed as any in the Exhibition, being in a central situation and in a good light; but even if they had been shoved away in a remote corner they would have constituted one of the attractions of the Exhibition, for to say of an article that it was made at the Mosgiel Factory is to guarantee its quality, and our people are naturally anxious to show the products to visitors from other places. Particularly noticeable among these exhibits are some fancy knitted wool curtains which hang from the archways, these being very tastefully designed ; the snow-white blankets arrest attention by reason of their evident genuineness; the flannels are good enough to compete in England against the best that can be produced there; the rugs are such as to coax buyers from all parts, the reversible " Wakatipu " and the " cosy" being specialties ; the tweeds and cloths comprise a wide range of texture —from fine merino wool dress stuffs, in silk mixed stripes or checks, for ladies' costumes, and semi-tropical tweeds and flannels for gentlerren's wear, to heavy Melton and twisted merino whipcord saddle tweeds; coatings, vestings, trouserings, and suitings are on view in great variety ; and we also see a specialty of the company in their blue uniform cloths, in twill buckskin and Melton finish, used by the police, the permanent militia, and the volunteers of New Zealund. Further, there is a large assortment of football and boating jerseys; fine white wool hosiery and underclothing; fancy M'ool shawls, shirts, cloud scarves; plain and ribbed hose and half-hose ; men's pants and undervests. The exhibit as a whole is one that does infinite credit to this enterprising company. MATATTKA FALLS PAPER MILLS COMPANY. Paper making at the Mataura was first started about twelve yeavs ago by a company of Southland gentlemen, including Messrs Denniston, Pearson, Murdoch, Bain, and others. The property was subsequently purchased by Messrs Coulls, Culling, and Co., Crawford street, Dunedin, who have put in the mill improved machinery, and are now turning out all kinds of wrapping papers and paper bags, which are claimed to be equal to the best imported and at a much lower price. The principal machinery consists of a Fonrdirnier machine, capable of making twelve tons per week ; three beating engines, one revolving, one stationary, and two open boilers ; also, a number of paperbag machines. Both steam and water are used in the manufacture. The beating engines, which require great power, are worked by a GOhorse power water-wheel, and as the supply of ! water is practically unlimited the power is equal to any future demand. The paper in the bay at the Exhibition is shown in rolls of various colors and qualities, just as it come 3 off the machine, and there is a largo assortment of grey, blue, and fruit paper bags, and specimens of strong manilla paper for fruit bags. Messrs Coulls, Culling, and Co. also exhibit in their bay, mounted in gilt frames, specimens of their letterpress and lithographic printing ; also embossing, rubber stamps, and general commercial •tationery manufactured on their premises in Crawford street. A showcase contains ledgers, day-books, and journals bound at their establishment, some of the leather being supplied by the JBnrnside tannery works. A MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT is to be found in a bay adjoining the Bruce County Court, several exhibitors baing jointly accommodated. One of these is the Dunedin Cardboard Box Factory, of which Mr T. J. Treacy is manager. The display made by this firm consists of a varied assortment of fcoKes for holding confectioners', chemists', jewellers', and other small goods, as well as larger boxes for shirts, and a wide selection in wedding-cake boxes, which are evidently a specialty with the makers. The industry is an important one, and as the articles produced are got up with neatness and taste and special adaptability to the requirements of the colonial market, there is every reason to suppose that we have in this modest exhibit the beginning of what will some day be a large trade.

In tlae same bay William Markham, of South Dunedin, shows a large number of samples of light rope (the largest size about and twine of ail and makes, and in assorted colors. Judged by the eye these goods recommend themselves at once, and it is astonishing to observe the variety on view, running through the whole range of C3rdage, -from rope that would be strong enough to bang a bullock by, down to fine seaming twine and very light stuff such as rm'eht serve for " doing up " bunc.es of tea. T. J. Wright and Son show escellent samples of a superior class of wood painting, their display consisting of half a dozen panels in imitation of the leading furniture woods, a marble chimney piece, and a couple of pillars that present a very fair representation of solid marble. It is a class of work in which we see several creditable exhibits in different parts of the ■building, and Mr Wright may, we think, account his specimens worthy of being compared with any in the Exhibition,

George Maidment has a small and nnornamented stand on wbicb are placed bottles which, according to the labels, contain Brunswick black, black harness dye, Oriental boot color, and burnishing ink. These preparations are locally made by the exhibitor.

JAMES DUESTON, Kaikorai galley, shows specimens of flock which is manufactured in large quantities at his mill. The .materials from which the flock 13 worked up axe so treated by the various processes which Mr Durston has in use that a pure, clean article, stated on medical authority to be free from any contamination, is placed upon the market, and finds, as we were informed, a ready sale. The woollens, after being cut up, are thoroughly scoured, well rinsed, dried, and sulphured. After that they are removed to the flock machine, where they are ground and willowed. The drying process is a most complete one, and it is stated that to dry a ton of woollens over 4,009.W) cabic feet of air is drawn through them by .mean? of a Blackmail air propeller. The flock shown appears to be pure and entirely free from dirt, and should be found well adapted for the purposes of bedding and furnishing.

J. W. FAULKNER, who carries on business at Cumberland street, shows samples of patent diagonal flexible steei wire sheep netting (permanent and portable), iron field gq,tes, and other articles of a similar nature. The netting has been well joined together, the fcwisfcs being well made; while attention has been given to making the netting strong and durable. In an extremely short space of time a temporary, but at the same time strong, fence can be erected, which can also be removed expeditiously. The netting can be firmly strung on iron standards, and when .temporarily or permanently erected is alleged tc be able to stand considerable pressure .from ,Leayy animals. It is made up in.rolls of any required length or width, with four, .five, or'six mqh and is suitable for cattle, sheep, of pigs. S|lie exhibits of U.r Faulkner will be found on the left-hand side ,o£ th,e railway avenue, proceeding south.

.CfTFF AN.D GRAHAM, Of Oliristfchur.ch and Lytteltori, who are Bole agents' for }iw #c?Jarid for the Joshua

Hendy machine works, ahow one of the I firm's Challenge ore-feeders, over 1,600 of ' which have, it is stated, been placed in practical use. These ore-feeders contain all the latest improvements which have been effected in this connection, and it is held that 20 per cent, more ore is crushed with 15 per cent, less wear of iron than by hand-feeding. The automatic ore-feeder is now generally admitted as the most important factor in securing, in the proper reduction and amalgamation of ores, perfect pulverisation under the Btamps. Several changes have of late been made in these feeders, the most important being alterations in the rock Bhaft, bumper rod, friction grip, friction brake, and brake wheel. It is also held that the Challenge ore-feeder is the most economical, durable, and handy machine which has been invented, and it has generally given satisfaction to all who have given it a trial. One of the Challenge ore-feeders is to be seen working at the new quartz battery which has been erected at the corner of the side-show reserve, near the mineral display, and the machine (which is entirely automatic in its motion) has already attracted considerable attention.

The Poultry Show.

_ A show of poultry was held in the Exhibition on Thursday under the auspices of the Dunedin Poultry, Pigeon, and Canary Association. The season is anything but a good one for such an exhibition, and the rather poor result was not unexpected. There were about 270 entries. We subjoin the PRIZE LIST.
