NAIVE SUGGESTION.
HOW WE MAY HELP AUCKLAND. (By TcJesrarh— Special Oorr»isronil(int.l Auckland, April 7. A suggestion is made by a writer in the "Herald" ancnt the forthcoming Auckland Exhibition, which, has an interest for the other Dominion centres. He. says: "In order to induce the other communities throughout the country to take an. added interest in the forthcoming exhibition, why not. allot to each centre a day of its own? We will suppo.-.o that if. is Wellington day at the exhibition. On lh.it particular day it would be Wellington's pride and ambition to attract to the great show a larger number of visitors than had been present on anv other day. How this should be done would be entirely for Wellington to decide. Probably it might be better to allow a week to each centre, but. in any case, tho scheme is workable. It was put into practice at tho World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. On 'Chicago Day' there wcro over SOO.OOO people in attendance, and one of the features of tho programme was a huge historical pageant. Tho idea may be considered worthv of consideration, and its adoption would at least set up a spirit of friendly rivalry which would inevitably benefit th'o Exhibition funds."
