THE EXHIBITION.

In a few days there should be nothing left of the Exhibition save tho bar© building. All the stands and exhibits are being levelled or hurried into packing cases, while a'determined effort is being made to clear the floors of a great accumulation of paper and other rubbish. The Now South AY a lea Court is one of the last to get clear. It Is still in the hands of the packer, but is rapidly approaching a complete clearance. Little remains in the Canadian Court that is not packed up, while the Agricultural Court should be clear by to-day. Almost everything has been removed from the Alachinery Hall, but the space between it and the main corridor is not being cleared very rapidly, and it is in strong distinction to the southern half of thebuilding, where there ie scarcely a partition, even, left standing. The Home Industries section is dissolving slowly, but most of the courts have entirely disappeared. Alarlborough has gone altogether, and Auckland, behind it, has only a few posts standing. The Tourist Department’s Court and the Fijian exhibit are entirely unrecognisable, except by their location, while very little remains of South and North Canterbury, and the massive block of Mount Somers stone alone marks tho site of the Ashburton Court. West's Castle Theatre ie only a skeleton now, and even its bones should be array by today. There is not such a large staff of workmen employed as heretofore, but tho work ot removal goes on apace. ________________
