ZIBISHUN MEDALS.

Disgrace a Brunniagei? Jewellers Show.

"Truth" has heen shown, a med'l, the teeond prize for 3, bass solo won by a member of* .'the' Welljinsstou Garris*»iv Band, and a tinsel affair it is. The design of the medal is rotten, and it looks for a3l the world as if it had feeen made m Germany. As a memento of the show on wrth" it isn't ' -worth a cent, and the possessor - of .i&riAn, ' &. medal is sure tto try and, forgßt. "that. there ever was such a thira^ .us au Exhibition m Christchurch. : - Compared with the neat and vmtto -. "little emblems of the Masterton : nnd i New. Plymouth Exhibitions . tie Qhristchurch second prize.. medal for a bass solo sinks into utdser jasiicaificarice. It is a cheap aud nsfety thing, of a gold and silver "haxture, stud hangs ou to a misera-We ipiece of red ribbon. It is, moc(Kyyfiir, p too. apparent that fe KxhiM^ar.auihoiities ma.de fi bk profit „&atf of the entry fees, r-nd vs x .•Ye*-v.hjn_' r had Yo sh<*w a profit, nrize-winners .have had to suffer. The medal slwvwai to 'Truth - ' would di-gracii the ".window of any dealer m brumraa<ieai jewellery,, -.and the Avi:_ne!s, instead of takioij yt, pride m their pri?es are right-down ashamed of them.
