He said he was greatly surprised at the dimensions of the building, and ploased with the work done at the pa. There was a good deal to do still, but he had no doubt the pa would be in an attractive state on the opening day. He selected a site

for the Cook Island natives, who are expected to arrive soon. Arrangements will be made to erect tents for them in the meantime. The lake is fast filling up, and immediately it reaches normal level it is proposed to have a trial of the water chute.

The Agricultural Department has decided to take some cadets in connection with the apiary, and thus afford young people an opening for becoming acquainted with the bee industry. Each cadet will be expected to sign an agreement that he or she will attend while the Exhibition is open from November to April. Cadets will have to work under instructions from the officer in charge, and be in attendance every day during hours to be fixed. They must board and lodge themselves. No charge will be made for instruction, The keenest interest was manifested yesterday by the crowds in Hagley Park in watching the working of the apiary.
