INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CHRISTCHURCH.

Those who \riah to be represented at the International Exhibition to be held at Christchurch in March next should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the exhibitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented 60 exhibitors, for which we recorded 10 special gold medals, 4 first, and one second, three of which were New Zealand firms (D. Shang and J. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Bevan, Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix their exhibits on their apace, attend to the judging of exhibits and any* thing necessary while the exhibition remains opmi ; at the close, re-pack and send back exhibiLs, or sell tbem or duplicates thereof if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the Exhibitiou to fix their exhibits, which amounts to an expense, besides the loss of time which must necessarily be expended on them. Then again the exhibitors have a benefit, they have no trouble of yetting space ; they let us know how much is required, and we get it for them, as wo have a large amount granted to us. We fix, &c, the exhibits on a better space than if they applied themselves. Our terms are moderate. Wo specially caution the public against giving their exhibits to so-called exhibition agents who go the rounds of exhibitions and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties.

On account of our not being able to give exhibitors the exact amount of our fee, it is impossible to do so until we know the size of exhibits, they may rely on it being most reasonable.

The exhibits should be addressed Albert S. Manders and Co., Ohristchurch Exhibition, If exhibitors will kindly

send a note stating how much space they require no further trouble ia necessary. Albert S. Mandehs & Co., British and Colonial Manufacturers' Agents.
