THE 'FRISCO EXHIBITION. NEW ZEALAND'S EXHIBIT. [bt telegraph.— correspondent.] . Wellington, Wednesday. The Prime Minister (Right Hon. W. F. Massey) made a short statement to-day to a reporter as to the Government's intention regarding the New Zealand exhibit at the Panama Exhibition at San Francisco next year. " The Government has decided that the Dominion shall bo represented at the Exhibition,'' said' Mr. Massey, ."and we are going to ask the assistance of all the people interested in our primary products tq make the exhibit worthy of the Dominion. We are going to ask that, produce for exhibit shall be sent forward, and the Government will take charge of it, and see that it is properly displayed. Wo propose to undertake also the disposal of the produce to the best advantage after the Exhibition is over. We are anxious to make a particularly good display of those articles produced in New Zealand, for which there is now a market in the States, such as cheese, butter, wool, frozen meat, and flax. We have under consideration the setting up of an honorary board to assist us in making arrangements for the collecting of produce for the exhibit, and an officer of the Department of Industries and Commerce will be detailed to attend to correspondence and such matters relating to the Exhibition."
