It is also their intention to make yet further additions to the building, and two porches—one at the west end, and the other at the east end of the Avenue of Nations—will be erected, which will give sixteen additional bays. The Government have made the same concessions to Messrs Jonbert and Twopeny in the matter of telegraphic communication as was accorded them by the various Australian Governments during the currency of the Exhibition. It is stated that ton extra police constables, one sergeant, and two detectives will be sent from Wellington for duty in Christchurch during the Exhibition season. Daring the months of April ana May, the Union Steamship Company will issue Exhibition tickets by their steamers in the intercolonial trade at the same reduced rates that were charged during the Melbourne Exhibition.
