THE EXHIBITION
FIRST WEMBLEY EXHIBITS ARRIVE. DUNEDIN, Dec. 21. The first of the New Zealand Government exhibits from Wembley has been placed in the <ourt at the exhibition. It consists of two beautifully made frames and mounts of inlaid native woods, enclosing complete sets of New Zealand postage stamps. Twenty-three kinds of wood have been used. The exhibit is the work of Nir J. C. Williamson, of Wellington, a retired Civil servant. Mr Willimson, when in the service, was entrusted with all the high-class cabinet work required for the Government Buildings, and held a high reputation in that respect. The frames are valued at over £5OO. Among the Massey relics in the same court are the pen and seal used by the late Prime Minister. These are mounted on an inlaid stand, which is also the work of Mr Williamson. Other Government exhibits will bo arriving from Wembley from time to time, and will be added to the court, enhancing the already wonderful variety and high standard of the exhibits.
