The exhibit ■hows specimen work of the high class tools And machinery used in pen manufacture which cannot be overlooked.

Talbott and Talbott, London—Gold and silver ladies’ and gentlemen’s English watches. In our report we gave this exhibit n first order of merit, silver medal, but after re-examination we came to the conclusion that the very good finish of these watches, their good time-keeping quality and their prices combined, made them deserving of our special recommendation for the certificate of “ gold medal” 1 John Sherwood and Sons, Birmingham—

Electro plated ware. In our report a se- - oond order of merit was awarded to this firm, no prices having been obtained at the time of our judging. Since then, the agent, Mr A.‘J.

SECOND OBDBB 07 -MERIT—BRONZE MEDALS. 8. Papperill, Christchurch— Electro-plating. (This exhibit shows only few specimens of electro-plating.

Albs, Stout, Tobacco, and Oioabs. Jurors—J. B. Parker, W. Hockley, O. Robertson, and E. 8. Harley. QBNBBAL EBMABKB. The jurors, after careful examination, offer the following remarks on the ales and stouts examined by them. The bulk ales, taking them as a whole, are very creditable exhibits, well made and wholesome. Messrs Marshall and Copeland's XXXX pale bitter ale is one that deserves high commendation, and would attract attention in any competition, among that class of ales. Mr Speight, of Dunedin, in export ale and strong ale, also comes to|the front, and deserves equal praise in those two classes. In bulk stouts some exhibits were fair, but none were worthy of such high merit as the bulk ales. The English ales in bottle had a close competition for second flaoe j Tennant’s being judged considerably etter than any of the others. The Colonial ales in bottle were very fair, six exhibits having a close contest. There was nothing deserving of special mention. The Colonial stouts showed no great merit. Tno jurors have tried to be consistent in making their awards, according to a fairly high standard in each class. PIBST OBDBB OP MBBIT—SILTBB MBDALB. Marshall and Copeland, Dunedin—Pale ales.

These globes are of a light and pleasing design, combined with considerable strength and rigidity, and are very truly made ; while the method of mounting is far more useful and instructive than that of those shown in ordinary use, The globe shows at once the true inclination of the earth to the elliptic, and consequently is useful in teaching physical geography. The whole globe'is much more easily read than usually is the case. The equatorial circle is divided into the twenty-four hours ; so that by sotting the globe to local time the true time in any other part of the globe may be seen at once. One of the globes is provided with a cloak, which causes it to rotate in such a manner that when once it ia sot to local time it shows by mere inspection at any moment the time of any part of the earth.
