In response to numerous requests from various parts of New Zealand, arrangements have been made with two of the freezing companies to establish refrigerating machinery within the buildings, and to allot a certain space that will be available for exhibitors who are handling perishable goods. In addition to the space that will be m the hands of the Exhibition authorities, the two companies will also make displays on their own accord.

Preliminary entries are now being received for the band contest, which is being held m February, 1907, m connection with the Exhibition, and several were received during the past week.
