APOLLO OVERTHROWN.
Scene at the Exhibition. Christchurch, March 17. For some time past disputes have arisen between the Exhibition authorities and the proprietress of the cherry rooms, concerning the right of the latter to having an advertising placard on a statue of Apollo placed in the main corridor, just outside the door of one of the rooms. One of the Exhibition officials went to remove the placard last night, and the proprietress interfered. A struggle ensued, in the course of which Apollo was thrown from his pedestal and was dashed to pieces on the floor. The statue formed part of the collection secured by Sir Joseph Ward in Italy.
