VARIED EXHIBITION

LARGE CROWD OF VISITORS

The opening ceremony of Iho show look place- at 3 p.m., but shortly after 2 p.m., tvhen the doors were opened io the public, largo crowds thronged the building. In the evening there- was a much larger attendance, everybody entering into the carnival spirit that prevailed. There was no doubt that patrons were agreeably surprised at the quantity and quality of the goods displayed. The exhibits not only provide entertainment, but 'they are of value from an educative point of view, demonstrating tli.it New Zealand is making good progress so far as her secondary industries are concerned. Visitors to the show are. given opportunity of seeinc machinery used in some .industries in operation, and processes employed in others. There are so many arresting and artistic trade displays tlfat it would bo unfair to particularise, but it is sufficient to say that one and all do credit to exhibitors. Many special and novel features are to be seen, and these evoked much admiration on Saturday. At the foot of the steps leading to the tearoom is a beautiful rock garden—the work of the JS'eu- Zealand Alpine Rock Garden Society, Inc.—which imparts an artistir. touch to- the surroundings. The display

by the disabled soldiers is very creditable, and proves that though handicapped these men can still earn a living by manufacturing useful and fancy iirticles of wide variety. The Wellington Model Engineering Society is showing a praiseworthy collection of models of various types of engines, steam boats, yachts, etc. A display of fretwork is particularly line. Interesting exhibits arc also provided by the Model Aeroplane Club and the Wellington Boys' Institute. Tho exhibit arranged by the Wellington Education Board is excellent, both in regard to size and quality. Visitors will be interested in the varied and representative activities of tho children. Drawing, colour work, mapping, models, raffia work, writing' collections of weeds and shells, all find a place in the. space allotted to this exhibit. The Education Board lias also arranged a comprehensive display of native trees, shrubs, and root crops. Tho Technical College has a special booth on the main floor, where it is displaying work done by the pupils in the workshops, and in the art and cookery departments. In entertainments the- 'public have been well catered for. In addition to the- many sideshows and other attractions inseparable from a show, there will be acrobatics and balancing acts, gymnastics, tug-of-war, dancing, and the inter-house girls' marching competition. A start was made with the lastnamed event on Saturday night, and the display, which was watched with interest by a large crowd, was -excellent.
