DUNEDIN, May 22. Men from other parts of New Zealand who come to Dunedin oil Exhibition business express themselves as surprised at tlie vastness of the scheme and its forwardness. Captain -M - IL Macdonald, of Wellington. was evidently impressed, and betore leaving spoke of his intention to try to induce Wellington folk to consent to an enlargement of that province's display. There seems reason to suppose that the sister provinces will apply lor more space than can he supplied. (Alt FALLS IN CHEEK. WA 11 IT. AI ay 20. A motor car with the driver and two passengers, travelling from T’aeroa to Tauranga. plunged over a temporary I structure across the Waitelo Creek on the Waihi-i’acroa read Inst night, the vehicle somersaulting twice and finally settling on its side in the creek bed eight feet below.

Dr Randall, travelling, secretary fur the Rhodes Scholarship I rtisteos. nirived from Sydney hy the Maunganui to-day. He said in an interview that ihe (picstious that concerned us are whether the scholarship is of adequate value, whether the coin nut loos are arranged in the host way, whether the system secures us the best men as Rhodes Scholars. New Zealand’s record in particular had been honourable,

am! the Dominion's scholars had contributed much, not mere in athletics, and life of Oxford. It will not he easy to fulfil the founders aim unless literary subjects and history play a larger part in education than at present. I want In get educationalists out ol their inatheniatlea 1 and scientific grove, and I state boldly that education is liol. worthy of Ihe name il it < onlines itself to mathematics and science. Alter his New Zealand tour, Mr Randall will spend a month in the Haeilic and then go t-, Camilla and the United States. EXCHANGE OU !• ELITES. AUCKLAND. May 2.1.
