THE NEW ZEALAND EXHIBITION.
Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Melbourne, February 11. Me. E. E. N. Twopeny returns to New Zealand by the Wairarapa. His visit to Australia has been satisfactory as far as concerns obtaining British and Victorian exhibits for the Dunedin Exhibition. He has failed, however, to obtain the Victorian loan collection of pictures, but Mr. Deakin, Chief Secretary, has promised that Victoria should be officially represented. Mr. Playford, Premier of South Australia, is doubtful whether a subsidy will be voted to the local committee. Mr. Twopeny found that nothing could be done at Sydney till, the elections are over. It is probable that the Victorian navy wMI be present at the opening ceremony, and the principal 'members of the Cabinet may also attend, with the view of promoting a feeling in favour of colonial federation in New Zealand. The appointment of Mr. Joubert as manager has given great satisfaction to the British and Victorian exhibitors. In consequence of the large number of exhibits which have already been secured, the plans of the building will, Mr. Twopeny states, need enlargement.
