the exhibition. (By Telegraph Special Service.) CHRISTCHURCH, last night. The Exhibition still, surprises visitors from oversea by its variety and magnitude. New Zealanders also, -who have based their expectation of its dimensions and attractions on previous experience of local industrial exhibitions, express complete astonishment in many cases at tho extension of all their ideas made necessary by a personal visit. Mr J. Scott, South Australian Commissioner for tho Exhibition, says that the number of people journeying from his State to New Zealand during the past month or six weeks has been altogether unprecedented, the Exhibition being the prime cause. Many of them since their arrival have called upon Mr Scott to express thendelight and gratification with all they have seen at the Exhibition. Mr Sydney Stubbs, Mayor of I ertli, and Commissioner to the Exhibition representing West Australia, also expresses himself as much surprised at the length of the buildings and tho wide range of the industrial undertakings represented. Tho traffic from Dunedin to the Exhibition continues to keep up on the railway. The average number of passengers at special rates at present is between 70 and «U a day. The next big rush is expected for the band contest, which takes place from February 11 to 10. A handsome trophy of Victorian timber was erected in the court of that State this morning. The structure consists of four walls panelled in various woods ,||uerced with arched doorways and ornamentally finished at the top. The centre of tho small room thus formed is occupied by an inlaid table, while a great number of specimen blocks of various timbers are placed on the shelves. The central panels on the outside are carved with typical Victorian bush scenes. \lt woods in the panels are named in Mlt lettering, and owing to the good design and high finish, combined with the natural beauty of the timbers. the trophy is both imposing and beautiful. Tho principal woods used arc ironbark, grey box, red gum, bluegum, mountain ash, messmake, stringy bark, and blackwood. The Victorian Court lias also been enriched by the addition of ft magnificent oil painting of Melbourne from the south bank of--'tho Yarra, the work of the New Zealand artist, L. AVilson. These continual additions and improvements to the courts are quite a feature of tho Exhibition, and were remarked upon by the Hon. Mr McGowan. Ho had not seen the Exhibition since soon after it was opened, and ho expressed himself as very pleased with the alterations for the better that liavo taken place. There have been some great improvements in tho various courts, lie said, and the Exhibition taken altogether has quite come up to his expectations. He thinks the people of Christchurch and of the colony have a right to he proud of their enterprise. Thore were fully ten thousand people at the Exhibition to-niglit, when a display of Pain’s (London) fireworks was the great attraction. The weather and sky were perfect for the display, which was one of remarkable novelty, variety, anil brilliance. The master piece of the elaborate set of pieces was a wonderfully faithful representation of Nelson and the flagship Victory on either side' of the historic motto, all done in fireworks. Next Wednesday there will be pyrotochnic display in combination with a military tatoo, in which four bands and a large number of volunteers will Special excursions for the people of single, towns at largely reduced rates commence to-morrow, which will be
