SANDHURST INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.

It is intended to hold an Industrial Exhibition at Sandhurst, Victoria, in March next, and the committee in soma degree following the example set by Ballarat in tha early part of this year, announce that there will be a special court which will form a juvenile exhibition. Judging by the programmes which have been distributed, it appears that competition is invited in all classes of trade and manufacture. There are nineteen classes, which include almost everything that can be thought of, and No. 20 is for articles of any description not enumerated. A circular issued by the secretary, says “ Tho committee have in view the development of the latent energy and talent of tho rising youth of tho colonies, by offering as rewards gold, silver, and bronze medals, and certificates for the best designs and workmanship in their several and respective callings. And- the Exhibition also offers an excellent medium for the display of every description of articles, show-. ing the progress the colonies have made in arts and manufactures. Manufacturers, artisans, and others, of ail parts of the colonies, are cordially invited to compete, and it is hoped that the honor attached to being a successful exhibitor will have the effect of stimulating others to greater exertions on future occasions. Tho committee also hope that tho approaching Exhibition in Melbourne (to which the Sandhurst exhibits can be transferred) will be an additional inducement to exhibitors, and the committee trust Jhey will receive such support and encouragement as will make the eveut_ a grand success.
