THE EXHBITION.
Christchurch, Yesterday. Interest is still taken by hundreds of visitors in the sweated industries exhibits. The Hon. A. Kirkpatrick, Chief Secretary in the Government of South Australia, who is at present in Christchurch, has recorded his opinion in the visitors’ book that the exhibits should be shown all over Australia. Mr Kirkpatrick intends on returning home to rerecommend his Government to apply 7 fora loan of the sweated industries exhibits to show to the public of South Australia. An interesting new feature in the exhibition is an elaborate display of canoes and other articles from Cook and Nuie Islands, arranged opposite the Fijian court. There are half a dozen quaint canoes, most of them with outriggers attached ; a peace drum used to proclaim peace lor over a hundred years, exhibited by Colonel Gudgeon ; an Ariki’s throne, belonging to a family of Aitutaki, said to be practically one with the Ngatiporu tribe of the North Island Maoris : swords, spears, eel nets, ceremonial axes, native tapestry, and other articles.
