Historical !—! — Vide " Jurors' Reports and Awards, New Zealnad Exhibition." Jurors : J. A. Ewen, J. Butterworth, T. C. Skinner "So far as the "olony is concerned, the dying of materials is almost eatirely confined to the re-dying of Articles of Dress and Upholstery, a most useful art, for there ars many kinds of material that lose their colour before the texture is half worn. G. Hirsch, of Dunedin (DtTNEDis Dye Works, George street, opposite Royal George Hotel) exhibits a case of specimens of Dyed Wools, Silks, and Feather, and dyed Sheepskins. The colours on the whole are very fair, and reflect considerable credit on the Exhibitor, to whom the Jurors recommended an Honorary Certificate should be awarded." Honorary Certificate 639 : G-ustav Hirsch, Dunedin, for Specimen of Dying in Silk Feathers, &c.
