GK Hibsch, of Dunedin (Dunedin Dye Works, George-street, opposite Royal George Hotel) exhibits a case of specimens of Dyed Wools, Silks, and Feathers, and dyed Sheepskins. The colors 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, 29 : Gustav Hirsch, Dunedin, fox specimens, of Dyeing in Silk, Feathers, &c,
