The postal authorities advise that the Wanganella left Sydney on Saturday night for Auckland with 39 bags of Australian mail and 15 parcel receptacles for Dunedin. In addition, the vessel, as previously .advised, carries two weeks’ London air mails. The latter should be to hand on Thursday, at 1.30 p.m., and the ordinary mail on Friday afternoon.

This year space for exhibits was booked early, and considerably more floor space could have been filled had it been available. If (oral and electrical decorations will be a feature of the show.
