A BATTLEFIELD OF THE PAST. The proprietors of the Gyclorama, situated at the Armagh Street entrance of the Exhibition, are to be congratulated on their enterprise and forethought in bringing such a magnificent show to New Zealand. It is recognised on all sides to be the best and most popular of all side shows. Now that the Exhibition is drawing to a close it behoves everyone to take their last opportunity of seeing what a, battlefield is really like. The Cyclorama cost nearly U3OOO to erect. The huge canvas cost £10,000 to create. It is the hugest thing of its kind that has ever been painted on canvas.
