Addresses wera given at the various courts by experts from the countries represented. In the afternoon, a missionary play,. "Go, Tell," was performed by a company of players from Takapuna, and the grea.t Maori concert party gave its splendid performance both afternoon and evening. Sceens from the conversion of England were presented last evening by the girls of the Diocesan Girls' High School, in » pageant play entitled, "The Toughest Job in the West," and the girls of Queen Vic* toria Maori Girls' School gave a fine exhibition of poi dancing on the main hall platform, where also Maori historical tableaux were staged. The great pageant procession was a gorgeous feast of colour, and the singing of the missionary hymn by the massed performers was most impressive. To-day, the exhibition will be opened at 10 o'clock for the convenience of country visitors and by special request the ■ great Festival Choir will give an extra performance of the Hallelujah Chorus and other 'well-known excerpts from the oratorios.
