GRAND INTERCOLONIAL JUVENILE INDUSTRIAL EHHIBITION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Will you kindly allow us, through your columns, to address a few lines to the young people on behalf of the intended Juvenile Exhibition, to be opened on the 9th November, 1882, in the Garden Palace, Sydney ? Young Friends : The Schedule of Regulations and Prize List is now published for your information, and we hope you will carefully read them through. In drawing your attention to it, allow us to tell you great care lias been taken in framing them j much attention has been given to embrace all supposed articles that may be prepared for exhibition. But should any omissions have been made, or any part not quite clear to you, apply by letter or personally to the Secretary, who will give you every information. If you desire to exhibit any articles not enumerated, it can be entered in Group 23. We hope every young person, who is able, in your district, will make an attempt in some form to prepare an exhibit, and thus show the Colony at large that they have energy, talent, and industry. Do not look on with indifference; do your best to help to make the Juvenile Exhibition worthy of your native land ; and then in after life you will have the gratification of being able to say that you took part in making it so. Many are already at work ; the simplest specimen of industry will be acceptable ; let all work with a will and be enthusiastic. The object is a good one, and intended to show to the world that the young Australians are an industrious and an intelligent community. Remember, much depends on you to make the Exhibition a success ; for without your handiwork it would be a failure, and you will have to share in the disappointment. The Committee will do their part, and trust their young friends will do their’s, and every Colonist do their best to help in the good work ; let no one stand aloof, for when the busy and interesting event is over, and you have not taken some part, you will feel a remorse that you had not in some way contributed to it; it will then bo too lato to share in the honor. Bear in mind there is dignity and honor in labor.

The Committee are anxious that the young people should take the matter up warmly, and set a good example to others in making their homes hives of industry and contentment: that in years to come it may be the theme of many a pleasant hour—the Grand Intercolonial Juvenile Industrial Exhibition of Sydney, 1832.
