A quantity of correspondence was received from the Executive Commissioner of the New Zealand international Exhibition, forwarding oopies of letters, which were sent to the South Island Breeders' Association, asking the Association to niahje exhibits of special fleeces of wool, at the Exhibition. It was pointed out in the letter, in answer to tbe South Island Association, that space could not be given gratis, although tbe lighting and shelter would be provided. It was the general opinion that the matter would be much too exDensive for tbe Association to bear, and after a oareful discussion, it was deoided to circularise the members, setting forth the details in connection with the ventare, and asking them individually to endeavour to forward a fleece to tbe Exhibition. The balance-sheet, which was adopted, showed tbe receipts for [ tbe year to have been £192 123 lid, ■ and the expenditure £237 3s 3d, leaving a debit balance on the year's working of £44 10s 4d.
