MR. LL'MACPHERSON RETURNS,
Mr. A. Maopherson,. who was in charge of the New Zealand exhibit at the Panama Exposition, has arrived 'back, and for the next month or so ha will be engaged in writing a report' on his investigations into matters agricultural in America and Canada., for the New Zealand Agricultural Department. Mr. Macphersou is proud of the. success which attended the Dominion's exhibi; at the Exhibition. The pavilion and j the big exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture . was continually thronged with interested sightseers, ■ and many compliments were paid to the New Zealand effort. The ; American and Canadian farmers were 'particularly pleased with' the very line display of New Zealand's primary products, and the officials in charge of the court bad to work hard in giving information. That the" display was good is proved by the fact that New Zealand won more award? than any other country exhibiting, which is! a vfeat tojbeSproud of, aiid a; oredit to those' who were responsible for carrying out the work. Asked if he thought" that the money spoilt Ly; the New Zealand Government m making the display :at the Exhibition was likely to bo recouped from the ,'aluo of the 'advertisement to the Dominion and the augmentation of her trade with America, Mr. Macpherson said "Yes —a hundred times over," and he was very sanguine as to the good result? obtained.
Mr. Macpherson left San Franciscd on the evening of the day on which thd big pro-Gorman procession ' of 30,000 people took place. He was informed by the reporter that it had been said in Christchurch that the officials at tlio pavilions belonging to the Allied countries had been tola to close them',, in case of a riot taking place, and. damage being done. "Well, I will not contradict that statement," he replied,"But all I can. say is that 'I was atthe Exhibition until 1 p.m. in the" day, and all the pavilions were open thetij and we certainly, had no hint to olostf given to us before'that hour."-
