DUNEDIN EXHIBITION

A VISITOR’S IMPRESSIONS “SIMPLY STAGGERING.”

Delegates to the meeting of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand visited the Exhibition buildings at Logan Park, and were, to use their own term, “absolutely staggered” by the magnitude of the venture. “In coming here for the first time,” said Mr Albert Clark, vice-president of the Auckland Land Agents’ Association, “I felt justified in hasing my ideas of the exhibition on the last Auckland one. I.find that this is miles ahead of anything of its kind I have seen. It is absolutely staggering in size, and can only be excelled by the Wembley Exhibition. After all, however, it is only what one would expect from the "Wonderful optimism or the Dunedin people, who seem to make a success of any venture they take in hand’.' I only hope this exhibition will succeed as it' deserves to. If only people in other centres can gain an appreciation of the size of the venture, I am satisfied they will come down in great force. It will certainly he a pleasure to me to mention to Auckland people what a holiday they get by 'coming to Dunedin this summer. T}ie exhibition will he worth while, even if it is only for the reclaimed grourid, which will np • doubt prove to he a valuable asset to the city for all time.” Mr A. Sorhy (Hanjilton) said: “I shall do my best to give the people of Hamilton and Waikato an idea of the work here.' They don’t seem to be under the impression that it is nearly such a big affair.” .
