SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1879. (FURTHER PAPERS RELATIVE THERETO.) [In continuation of Papers presented the 28th May, 1880.]

Presented to loth Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

PEOGEESS EEPOET OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONERS. Mat it please youe Excellency,— , Wellington, 11th June, 1880. I have the honor to report that the Sydney International Exhibition of 1879 was formally closed on the 20th April last, on which occasion a copy of the official awards was presented to me as representing the New Zealand Commissioners. Some of the judges' reports were not finally closed at that date, so that the report was then •incomplete. The original documents have since been received, showing the awards made to the various New Zealand exhibitors as finally adjusted, signed by the judges, and setting forth the grounds of the award in most cases. I have also to report that the exhibits have been dealt with in accordance with the instructions received with the original applications for space, and the articles directed to be returned to New Zealand have been forwarded to the various secretaries of the local committees for distribution to the exhibitors. The exhibits which were to be forwarded to the Melbourne Exhibition have been packed, and, by the kind permission of the International Commissioners, are* stored in the Exhibition building until the Exhibition building in Melbourne is ready for their reception. The documents relating to the final awards were laid before the Commissioners at a meeting held on the 9th instant, and it was resolved that they should be submitted for your Excellency's information, with a request that they should be officially published. I have, &c, i James llectoe, Executive Commissioner.

The No. 6 was tho best of the kind in the court,; rank it as 1. Tho exhibit, as a whole, I should rank as 4 This comprises four samples, and, as a whole, I consider it the best exhibit in the court in its classs. The peas and beans are first-class, full, round, heavy, and fresh-looking. The rye-grass seed is better than 1180, but not so good as that of Duncan and Son, 1183, or Drausfield, 1182. Of a samplo of rye-grass seed experimented on, 12 per cent, failed to germinate A very fine collection of grasses, eminently deserving of high commendation ; most suitable for a farming and pastoral country. As grasses, we think them the best seed in the court; the rye-grass seed is as good as, but no better than, 1183.
