EXHIBITION NOTES,

At a meeting of the Christohutch local committee, Mr Mitchell, the treasurer, reported that since the last meeting he had received a cheque for £100 from Mr Stead, and two cheques for £25 each from Mr P. Cunningham and Mrs Cunningham; Messrs Miles and Co had promised a donation of £50; the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company and Messrs Dalgety and Co. had promised £25 each, and Messrs Kaye and Carter had promised £20. He had also received some smaller amounts. Evidently the Christchurch committee mean business, and unless Dunedin makes a special effort we shall suffer in comparison.

At a meeting of Wallace County Council it was resolved to apply for a bay at the exhibition, and the members formed themselves into a committee to procure exhibits. The Rp.v. Father Lynch has, at the request of the Educational Committee, with the consent of the executive, been invited to join that committee.

The Agricultural and Pastoral Committee are preparing schedules for the wool, grain, and wine sections, as well as for dairy produce, which latter department, it is contemplated, will iuclnde a model dairy in all its brandies. At the Melbourne Exhibition the working dairy was a great success, and enough butter could not be manufactured to meet the demand.

The plans for the fernery, which is to be 57ft Gin by 130ft, have been approved of by the Gardens Committee, and Mr Hislop, the architect, is preparing specifications in order that tenders may be called for its erection. A temporary fernhouse has been erected in the Dunedio Iron and Woodware Company's old premises, where the gardener is preparing the plants for the fernery. Auy donations of plants for the fernery or gardens will now be filadly received. Ten cases of plants from the West Coast Sounds, collected by Captain Neal, of the Stells, have come to hand, and are being potted and prepared.
