NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CHRISTCHURCH.

Those that wish to be represented at the International Exhibition to be held in Christchurch in March next should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the International Exhibitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented 60 exhibitors, for which ■we received 10 gold medals, 49 first awards and one second—three of which were New Zealand firms (D. Strang and J. T. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Bevan, Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix the exhibits in their space, attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the exhibition remains open ; l and at the close, repack and send exhibits back thereof, if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the exhibition to fix their exwhich amounts to expense, besides, the loss of time which must necessarily be expended on them. Then again, the exhibitors have a benefit—they will haveno trouble in getting space; they simply let us know how much is required, and we get it for them ; as ve have* a large amount granted to us, vie fix, &c, the exhibits on a better space than if they applied themselves. Om?'t6rms ave moderate. We specially catftdon the public against giving their exhibits to so-called Exhibtion agents, ■who go the rounds of the Exhibition and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. On account of our not being able to give exhibitors the exact amount of our fee as it is impossible to do so until we know the size of exhibit, they may rely upon it being most reasonable. The exhibits should be addressed Alberts. Manders, Christchurch Exhibition, If exhibitors will kindly Bend a note stating how muck space they require, no further trouble will be necessary.—Albert S.
