THE EXHIBITS AT THE FORTHCOMING CHRIST-

'CHURCH EXHIBITION. ' | Considerable dissatisfaction has been of. late expressed by intending exhibitors from Dunedin thatthe space demanded by them should havo been curtailed while so much was set apart for foreign exhibitors. The ExhibitioL purporting to be essentially a Colonial ;one. they claim that they are being unjustly treated in this respect by the promoters, who shoulo in preference have given them an opportunity of showing to the full extent whatever article* of local manufacture they ' might choosr to exhibit 1 . So far, however, Dunedin pro mises to be well represented!, as will bt seen from the following partial list of exhibi tors : — The New Zealand Woodware Factoric Company will show dining-room and | hal 1 suites in rimu, with other articles of high-class furniture ; while Messrs Findlay and Co. hay< entered for a variety of woodwork.

A very pretty exhibit will be a piece of work executed in seaweed and shells, by Mrs J. P. Jones. There are also a large number, of other exhibitors, but in many ; cases there exists a doubt as to whether they will have the intended exhibits ready in time forthe opening, while others are not . yet certain as ,to the nature of their articles j but there how seems little doubt that the Otago court wjll.be one of the best represented in the Exhibition, if not the best., , , ,
