SIX WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
Exhibition Arrangements Dominion Special Service. DUNEDIN, March 11. Arrangements for the Centennial Exhibition in Wellington, which is to be opened in November, are already six weeks ahead of schedule, and the general manager, Mr. C. P. Hainsworth, is making a final tour of the Dominion to draw in all the threads before the intensified work which is before him during the next eight months. Mr. Hainsworth, who was general manager of the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin 15 years ago, said in an interview tonight that in spite of the time that had elapsed, Dunedin people were still “exhibition minded,” and in this way differedTrom the citizens of Wellington, who were proving rather difficult to educate in this direction.
The Government pavilion at ths exhibition, with its 104,000 ft. of floor space, had just been taken over, Mr. Hainsworth and work on the internal fittings was being proceeded with. The'combined Dominion court had been occupied for several weeks and work on the interior was going ahead quickly. Arrangements were now in hand for the erection of the British pavilion, which, Mr. Hainsworth said, was to be a strikingly beautiful building.
