PANAMA EXHIBITION.

The secretary of the New Zealand Executive of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition states that. “Enquiries are daily coming to hand from, those interested and it is quite certain that the space required—more especially for wool, hemp, refrigerated meat, dairy produce, and fruit—will be very largely availed of. Of these products the Dominion is a very large producer, and it is only right and proper that there should be large dismays in these lines. I have received many enquiries as to what the prospects are of being able to get accommodation in San Francisco during the term of the Exhibition. It may be stated that there are over 2000 hotels and accommodation houses within the municipal area, and that many ethers are available, within easy reach by railway, electric car, and ferry services. “It may be possible for the New Zealand commissioner at San Francisco to organise an accommodation bureau for the convenience of New Zealand visitors. Persons arriving from New Zealand could be met at the docks in cases where they travelled by the direct Wellington-San Francisco steamers. Those travelling by Vancouver could apply at the headquarters office, New Zealand pavilion, where lists of hotels and boardinghouses could -be kept, showing where accommodation is available. This matter is receiving attention, and it may be possible arrange something practical along these lines. “Another subject about which many enquiries have been made is the cost of the stetamer fare from Wellington to San Francisco. The local office of the Union Steam Ship Company states that it is yet somewhat early to definitely announce what their concessions will be.
