."WELLINGTON, November 11. In 'a letter to Mr' Massev, jpantplimenting him on the article, h© wroto for "Whitaker's Almanac," Edgar Whitaker, the. business manager, wntfie as follows: —"Prom whaiftl read in the New Zealand papers about the 'Wembley exhibit, there "is much criticism. I would like to say that, walking over the show with a great many people, I have often heard the spontaneous remark that the New Zealandpavilion, was one of the best things in it. It by no means struck people over here'that it was tho flat, stale thing spoken of in your papers, and I believe it compared very favourably indeed in tho public's opinion with what they expected of the Dominion. The sense of proportion was by no means lost on them. I heard also that the catering there was the best in the Exhibition.

Sir Francis Boys, general manager of the New Zealand Refrigerating Co., whp returned to Christchurch after an absence of six months spent on a visit to England, replying to a reporter's question as to his impressions of the New Zealand Pavilion: at Wembley, Baid that his personal opinion was that the Dominion s exhibit -was a very creditable one. Considering that New Zealand did not spend the money that Canada and Australia spent, Sir Francis considered that the Dominion got its money's worth. The meat section was far and away the best arranged and most interesting from the point of view of the spectator. The carcase of a sheep, frozen in the wool, set up to give the appearance of feeding' in a paddock, was very effective. The wool exhibit, though not as striking as the Australian exhibit, was quite representative, and conveyed all the information that those interested in wool desired.
