THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.

The industrial Exhibition whiph is held annually in connection. with the Sunday Schools of this City was opened at the St. Peter’s School, Ghuznee-SttCet; yesterday afternoon; At S p.’olpok ,a large fiiMat of the scholars and their. friepds assembled at the schoolroom. The proceedings .were to have been opened with an address from the Yen Archdeacon Stock (in the unavoidable absence of. the. Bishop), but subsequently the rev. gentleman, changed his mind, and decided to deliver an address at the closing of the exhibition to-morrow night. Of the exhibition itself, as shoeing What children can be trained to do if sufficient encouragement is offered, we can only speak in terms of warmest approval. It will compare favorably both for the number and quality of exhibits with any previous display of the kind ever held in Wellington. There are over 500 exhibits in all. both the artistic and the useful branches being well represented. The judges in the various classes are.. folfriW —Class plain sewing—Mesdamcs Stocli.. and lie Clore, Fancy work—Mesdamcs Stock and '-WillioBall. In this stall a somewhat difficult task was left for the judges to perform. The neatness and general excellence of the work done by the juveniles in plain sewing, including shirts, children’s pinafores and underclothing, &c., was a subject of general comment. In fancy work, while some of the exhibits are very good, and would not disgrace an exhibition of more pretensions, the work in this branch as a whole Is not up to former exhibitions, Thera is, however, a great variety; including plaques, poonah and handpaintod; haild-painted Silk bannerets, and silk and satin OUsHionS; ctoWel; Arrasoene and beaded work, Madfariie late, On d some very handsomely-dressed dolls. ClaaiSes B and C, models, joinery, carving, So,— Mr Didsbury. In tbia section of the exhibition the ages of the boys whose work is shown range from 7 to 16 years. There are a number of exhibits well worthy of special mention, notably a large model yacht built by a boy of 16, a wheelbarrow by a boy of 11, a handsomely-painted centre-piece for ceiling, and a great number of articles, both for ornament and practical use, too numerous to mention. A handsome fretwork mounting for a clock, and also a pair of fretwork brackets must not be forgotten. Class D, writing; plain and Ornamental —Mr 0. J, Hardy. . Class B aud G—Drawing, mapping; scrapbooks, &c. —-Mr F. de Clete, The exhibits in this branch are not mimerdiis, but some of them are very good, more especially the maps and pencil and crayon drawings. Classes F, H, and I are the “museum collection ” consisting of curios, plants, ferns, and fruits, which were judged by Mr T. W. Kirk. At this stall is shown a handsomely mounted wood picture, on which is carved the words “1 am the Bread of Life,” also collections of shells and seaweeds, specimens of New Zealand woods cut and prepared by the boys, eggs of all sorts, &o. The collection in these classes, taken as a whole, are very creditable, and are beautifully arranged. Class J., cookery, preserves, &o.—Mr J. Godber. The cookery is a special feature of the exhibition, and surprise "has been expressed on all sides at the excellence of the dishes. Some beautifully prepared jellies and dishes of a like nature have rather suffered from the intense heat, but on the whole the table looks very tempting. Thera are beside those already mentioned, a cumber of miscellaneous articles which could not be classed, of which Mr Didsbury is to be the judge, and a flower stall, inwhich some “dahlias,” kindly sent by Mr Joseph Dixon are very much admired, as also some very handsome “ fuchsias ” and a rather curious, fern plant exhibited as the “bird’s nest fern.” The exhibition is under the management of the Superintendents and Secretaries of the English Church Sunday schools of the .City, and the lady teachers in these schools are taking charge of the stalls in turn. On the stage at the upper end of the room the Hibernian band will perform selections each evening, from 7 to 9.30. . The exhibition was again well attended in . the evening, the hall being crowded. The Hibernian Band, whose selections were much admired, played for about half-an-hour outside the building, after which they went inside. A new item on the programme last evening was the introduction of a refreshment stall for the public, where light confections were dispensed at a moderate fee. Daring the evening this stall was largely patronised. The exhibition will be open this, and to-morrow afternoon from 2 to 5.30, and in the evening from 7 to 9,30.
