NEW ZEALAND HALL
Exhibits At World’s Fair (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) NEW YORK, May 6. The New Zealand Pavilion at the World’s Fair will display the Lerner Expedition’s collection of deep-sea fishing tl-ophies gathered in 1939. The collection includes a thresher shark and a striped marlin and forms the nucleus of the display in the permanent New Zealand Hall at the Museum of Natural History. The World’s Fair exhibit includes photographic transparencies illustrating New Zealand's facilities for deep-sea fishing. Led by Mr. .Michael Lerner, members of the staff of the American Museum of Natural History visited New Zealand early last year for the dual purpose of studying the habits of big-game fish and collecting material to establish New Zealand and Australian courts in the museum at New York.
