ITS PROGRESS DAY BY DAY. (BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) DUNEDIN, Nov. 23. There were large crowds at the exhibition to-day, the weather having dared. A large number of the crowd listened with pleasure to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders’ Band, which continues to be a big attraction. Asa result of the week-end rains the lawns and gardens are beginning to take a brighter shape. The work in the pavilion is well forward, and they should be completevery soon. The Australian pavilion, which was much behind on opening day, is now practically completed, and gives a comprehensive display of the Commonwealth’s resources and manufactures. Visits by school children to the educational court commenced today, and will be continued throughout the week. The amusement park is very popular, and the receipts are large. Much interest is being shown in the Samoan exhibit in the New Zealand Government pavilion. Regarding complaints about the high cost of accommodation, inquiries show that three leading hotels are charging 25s a day. while others and also private boarding-houses are charging from 10s upwards. Bed and breakfast can be had from 6s 6d a day and upwards. Visitors booking through the exhibition bureau are assured of specified rates. Those making, their own arrangements must accept the charges which they are quoted. A WEEK’S ATTENDANCES. DUNEDIN, Nov. 24.
