THE EXHIBITION.

There wai a very large attendance at the Exhibition yesterday both afternoon and evening. The flower show ie to be continned this evening. Sir Dilworth, the agent for Tattle, of Melbourne, the photographer whose productions are in the Victorian Court, has established a Bale table for the disposal of the photographs exhibited. Amongst them are a number of piotures of the popular actress Miss Pomeroy, and others of equal note, and as Mr Dilworth has been fortunate in securing a very handsome and attentive saleswoman, no doubt the returns will be large. Id the New Zealand Court there is an exhibit which is worthy of notice. This is the Venetian blinds of Messrs Taylor, Son and 00. These are shown in a bay adjoining that of Guthrie and Larnaoh, and comprise Venetian three wood oornice heads for enclosing Venetian blinds and curtains, sample wirej window blind with specimens of writing thereon, model of revolving shutter with full sized laths, model of revolving wood shutter, sample of Venetian blind and model of railway covered truck. The first blind shown is exhibited with oornice oretonne heading and muslin curtains. The blind is fitted with patent aotion. This is so arranged that after pulling up the blind by the suspending oord a second tusaellod cord enables the blind to remain at any height required. By a patent aotion the muslin curtains are made to draw backwards simply by an ordinary blind cord, obviating the necessity of touching the curtains at all. This is a great improvement on the ordinary poles and rings. The blinds and curtains are enolosed with wood cornices, painted in different colors, and the same action which has already been described, applies to the three samples exhibited. The workmanship in these is excellent, and the finish also very good. The next to call for notice is a wire window blind, with samples of 1 writing executed by the firm, whioh are very good. The exhibitors also have a model of revolving wood shutter, suitable for library and bookcase fronts, and other inside shutter work, in place of doors, The shutter works upon a revolving barrel and is eminently fitted for oovering pigeon holes, the front of libraries, tea. Next to this is a model of an outside revolving shutter with spring barrel, and is intended to supersede iron shutterss being found to be quite as effective in the matter of protection, far more economical and practical in working. A Venetian blind showing the various colore used in the factory is also exhibited. Master Taylor exhibits a model of ;\ luggage waggon, such as is used on the New Zealand railways, the workmanship of which is exceedingly good. In the Viotorian Court, Mr Pellat, the agent of Wilson and Paterson, exhibits a quantity of rolled bacon hams and spiced beef, also a quantity of tins of turtle soup, turtle fins, beohe-do-iner soup, and other Queensland delicacies. These are somewhat removed from the public gaze, but still they will attraot from their novelty.
