THE EXHIBITION

RECORD ATTENDANCES. FIJI COMMISSIONER’S IMPRESSIONS. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Jan. 20. Weeks of glorious weather have helped forward tho extraordinary success of tho exhibition which, on the second day of the ninth week, shows an attendance record of 1,118,377. The big attraction to-day is the socond display by the Boy Scouts encamped at Tahuna Park. The first display on Monday attracted a big crowd to tho exhibition sports ground, the people evidently being greatly interested in tho various branches of scoutcraft.

The Hon. R. Boyd, Fiji Commissioner, in the- course of a radio talk said: “I am afraid it would tax your patience to give at any length my impressions of tho magnitude, beauty and educational value of tho exhibition. Tho hundred and ono attractions of tho amusements park beggar description. The exhibition is too stupendous, too kaleidoscopic to adequately translate into words. It has to be seen to be realised. It has to be seen, not once, but many times, for one finds pew attractions every day, some unexplored nook, some interesting exhibit hitherto unnoticed. I can only say to you who have not yet seen the exhibition to let nothing stand in your way of coming to Dunedin and of seeing the greatest exhibition ever projected and carried out in any part of our groat Empire in tho soutliorn hemisphere.”
