THE EXHIBITION.

"Still They Come!" FUTURE ATTRACTIONS. ! Considering that Tuesday was an I "off" day so far as adventitious at- ■ tractions were concerned, the attendance at the exhibition must be i accounted highly satisfactory. The 'sum of £7O was taken at the turn-I stiles, and it is estimated that fully 2.1(10 people, including season and family lickel-ho'kler.s, passed through the gates. Relatively the success of ] the dining room was even more pro-nounc.-d than on previous days, for I the sum of £35, representing about I 800 meals, wus derived from that source. During the afternoon and evening Mr Garry's instrumental band jilayed selections of music, which were greatly appreciated by the public. The railway excursion from Wanganui has been postponed till Thursday, January 12th, owing to the difficulty of sufficiently advertising it for next Wednesday. On the latter date a grand military tournament will be held, and the Maoris will give soveral items. THEMHIBITS. Just before leaving Victoria Avenue for New Zealand Avenue, the visitor will be attracted by an exhibit of asbestos fire and damp ' lesisting boots shown by Mr W. M. Pritchard, of Auckland. The boots, in addition to their especial qualities, are mat in make. The first exhibit in New Zealand Avenue is that of the Empress Needle Company, where will be found some very good specimens of the work of which the needle is capable. : The patent has been in force some nine years, during which time four gold medals have been gained at nil tho large exhibitions held in the '. colony. I The next stand is that occupied by | ho welt-known Wellington optician, Mr H. Spear, who has on view all :the appliances pertaining to his profession. A most imposing display is that j made by Messrs Knight, Love an'i ;Co., Auckland, whose exhibit of colonial and imported saddlery and j harness i.s well worth careful .inspection. A special feature is made of portmanteaux, trunks, bags and all j kinds of leather goods. The whole display is one giving a very gratify-! ing idea of the manufacturing reourccs of our colony. The recent golf championship deided in New Plymouth gives addiional interest tp the excellent display of golfing materials shown by Mr F, S. Hood, of Auckland, whose New Plymouth agent is Mr A. S. Hassell. Here the enthusiast will fi»d all that is necessary for his complete equipment. Messrs Wood Bros., the ,well-known Christchurch millers, are to the fore with a taking exhibit of flour and Other millers' produce from their mills, The display is rendered all ,ti)e more attractive by the fact that there is on view the millstone worked in tho first flour mill erected in Christchurch. Then a striking commentary on the process of the colony is afforded by the contrast between photos of the company's mills in 18,->7 and their present premises. The Wangamii Brush Company is another firm illustrative of our native resources, 'for in their display are brushes which should find favour with the most fastidious housewife. This output ranges from the natty nail brush to the larger but equally serviceable scrubbing brush, besides whisks and other brushwnre. Another Wangamii firm, that of Messrs J. I!. Gilberd and Sons, soap- ■ makers, present a most attractive aAsortmont of cotoivial-niade soaps •and chandlery. The centre-piece is in the shape of a monument made of. various coloured waxine soap. In* eluded in this exhibit aVflurfreucayptus a.Td pumicc.-sa m i soa p. Mr J, Hurkett, Palmcrston North, is represented by a variety of household and veterinary preparations. Amongst them are white oil, horse ,oil, horse blisters,'and magnetic o'ntnient for cows. Another line which will find favour amongst our settlers p'sDe Lisle's patent painless catitlc brand. I An English firm is next to come junder notice. Messrs Carr and Co., pf Cjirjisle, havo forwarded a most tempting display of their biscuits and confectionery, and the visitor will pause before leaving it. Mr J. Wh!taker has purchased this. Mr Newton King exhibits many excellent samples of the lines for which he is local agent. The exhibit is a very large one, and is so arranged as to speedily attract the :cye of tho visitor, To the right is I seen a display of cowslip calf milk poultry groats, and Harraway's groats, oatmeal and breakfast food'. The centre is taken' up with a splendid display of the Gear Meat Company's preserved meats, together Ivitft the "Mount Egmont " ' brand [of tinned milk for export to tropical climates. Another striking {nature is the display of Aulsebrook's con- . ectionery and biscuits, and of .Cooper's sheep dip. The space in front of the meats is taken up by a row of growing seeds. Altogether I some ninety specimens of cereals and grasses are shown. On the left of the stand is an exhibit composed of ; Champion roller flour, contained in quantities ranging from 25's to tho 2001b sacks. i Mr H. E. Shacklock, of Dimedin, [has a small but instructive exhibit of I ranges of the Orion make. The chief feature is the large hotel range which gained a gold medal. This is complete in every detail and shows to what pitch the manufacturers' art has arrived, One of the most prominent exhibits in the exhibition is that of Messrs Archibald Clark and Sons, who occupy the stand between the two avenues). A large case, placed in the centre of the exhibit, contains a most extensive exhibit of the firm's celebrated Zealandia shirts, which, with 'collars and pyjamas, make a very effective display, air Callaghan, of Morey and Sons, New Plymouth, is to he congratulated on his taste in dressing the exhibit. The clothing section of this exhibit comprises n large variety of the brand known as " Chief," the excellence of which is acknowledged throughout the colony Another 'section i.s that devoted to ,the "HjnemOa" brand of ladies' underclothing, 'besides 'dressing Jackets and gowns, blouses and children's frqck.<j. T.nj.s exhibit has been- 'the centra of groat nit'rac'l.jpn, the- arrangement of the various articles, under the direction of Mrs Clarke, of Morey and Son, contributing in no small degree to this. ' Mr T, \\', Welch, of New Plymouth shows samples of fhp calf meal for which he is agent, and of Munn's cornflour. An attractive exhibit of white clover butter, done up in lib packets, proves , v telling advertisement for the staple product of the province.

Colonial manufactures of calf and bacon meal are seen in the exhibit sent m by Mr Samuel Brown, of Wellington.

Considerable attention lias been directed to the display .of musical instruments made by the Collier and Colonial Piano Company. Amongst the pianos shown are Hrinsmeads and. Hopkinsons ; the makes of organs are Estey, Millar -and Mason, and' Hambin. Novelties shown by the linn include an automatic player known as the Apollo, and an Orpheus organ, also played automatically.

New Zealand woods lend themselves admfirably to the artistic, and the eneer siliown by Mr A. McColl, 01 Oaehungn, shows t» perfee.ion this uality. Then comes one of the best exhibits in the whole place, the space of 1400 feet occupied by Messrsi Sargood, Son and En-en, proving of itself a miniature exhibition of colonial manufactures. The display is ' divided into sevei'tri sections ; ' the first to bo noticed is that wherein is displayed the felt and straw ' hats. The manufacture oi felt hats f is a new industry in Sew Zealand, ' jbut the excellence of the article 1 shown here is proof that even in this I ' line we can compete with other countries. The central bay is occupied 1 »y the btandard" brand of cloth- ' "»(,'• One of the features of this I rlnl'i i£ ,', hcta y %«« completely clotlud w.th "Standard" brand ' win, ' ,•'.'•'•' Colnci ' l,& y is «11<-'<l ,with artistic pottery, fancy and crystal glassware. Special importat..on3 have been made from English and Coloma.l houses, with the result ! that the v;Mtor has jjlnced before him an array seldom seen. The leather department is well represented for the exhibit of boots is such as any manufacturer might well be proud of. The saddlery and horse covers are also a credit to the firm. Tho " Standurd " shirts aro a distinctive feature, especially the tennis shirts, which are shown in profusion. Then there conies tho woollen goods such as rugs, blankets, flannels, and nosiery, " all of New Zealand manufacture, Other exhibits are "the Lorrie" window fastener, and ventilator combined ; Tanner's " Reliance " safe, and tho '•' Dom'ostic" and "Seamstress" sewing machines. The exhibit of the National Cash Register Co., Dayton, Ohio-presi-ded over by Mr G. A. HaUam, is well worthy of a visit-Messrs Yerex Barker and Finlay, Limited, have no doubt a first-class man in the right place in Mr Hallam, who is only too pleased to explain all jthotoisbo know in connection with I this exhibit. We can assure our .readers that the exhibit is really •worth a visitMessrs J. 1). Roberts, Limited, show a neatly arranged exhibit of their biscuits and confectionery I which havo for a long .time past been rapidly growing in public fa,.vour. i The New Zealand Wine Growers' Association 1 , Auckland, occupy a portion of the same stand, their colonial made Port, shorry, claret and other wines, comparing favourably with the imported article. I Ensign " baking powder, i.uddinir -powder, jelly crystals and other such articles are shown !, v Messrs H. and W.

Miss Cooper secured a well-deserved encore for her lirst number, "A May' Morning," and earned heartv «,'k plause for her rendering of "Sunshino au<l liain „ Miss Jjon . ujn(j jlansley was in splendid voice, and !l^h a th' e "? e " ,SiStO,J on " n «ncoroto both the items given by that ladv thus havmg the pleasure of hearing Rocked ui the Cradle of the Deep" and "A Necklet of Love," both be,lns sung with magnificent effect and : n " usl »S the enthusiasm of the auditnce, M.ss Njxon also sang well and |Was desorvedly encored. Mr Ryan was m grand voice, ft nd the songs ■he chose delighted his hearers iiiiimensely. Needless to say, 'l, e was caled upon for more, and that his < substituted items, "Give a Man a Horse to Ride" and "Long A™were received with great applaus'o. ?eri It u? S also du,v "PP'wiated in both his songs. The chorus and part singing was decidedly above the average, "Sweet and Low" being rendered with great taste and precision, and evoking a loud demand credit is also due to the-accompan-ists, both of whom displayed considerable skill and delicacy in their Playing. Altogether 'Hie concert was one of the most enjoyable that has been heard here for some time and w-as well worthy of a place in tne carnival attractions. TO-DAY'S ATTRACTIONS.
