The following report ' from the general manager was read at Friday's meeting of the ' Commissioners : — Parliament having passed the Licensing Bill, the executive have now called for tenders for the catering of the exhibition. The public, as well as the competitors for this very important branch of the ensuing exhibition, will be materially benefited by the delay, which has enabled the management to mature the plans, and now, in view of the great expansion of the whole undertaking, assumed more important proportions, -vi The accommodation offered to the caterer will be most complete. It consists of a capacious dining room, as well as private dining rooms; a ladies'refreshment room, kitchens (thoroughly fitted up with the latest appliances), pantry, scullery, store room, lavatories and cloak rooms, bars for both temperance and spirituous liquors, open air cafes, smoking compartments, &c. AH attendants will have to assume a uniform dress, and whilst engaged by the caterer, will be under the control of the executive, who may demand the immediate discharge of any servant in the event of misconduct, lack of civility, or any attempt at overcharge. Menus and tariff of charges will be posted up in conspicuous places in the buildings aud grounds, as well as in the refreshment rooms. The dining and refreshment rooms are in close proximity and communicate with the concert hall, so that in the event of balls or any other entertainments being held there the caterer may have the benefit of mch refreshment or supper as may be required. The Ceremonial and Entertainments Committee, whose functions have hitherto been in abayance, has now commenced its.work in goodeamest. Communications have been aatered into with some eligible persons in this and neighbouring colonies in order to secure such entertainments as are likely to prove both attractive and instructive during the evenings or afternoons when the concert hall is not taken up by the Music Committee, whose labours are now also in a most forward state, all the choir music indented from Europe having come to hand by the Aorangi, the engagement of the orchestra being nearly complete, whilst a powerful organ has been secured for the hall. At a meeting of the Ceremonial Committee called for next week, the chairman intends submitting a rough sketch of the opening ceremony, which will need to be adopted at this early date, in order to secure the adhesion of the numerous public bodies ! from the various provinces, as well as is*.ufng official invitations to representatives from neighbouring colonies. Several eligible offers have been made for the lighting of the fine art gallery, concert hall, and gardens with electric ty. The executive will probably close next week with one of the parties tendering. As the time draws near at hand it is most satisfactory to be able to report that the arrangements so far have been carried out in a most satisfactory manner, and that all the works in band are progressing fairly towards completion. Applications for season tickets are coming in freely, 200 having already been booked. Julbs Joubert, General Manager.
