We would remind our readers that “ Lyons’ Tourists” will appear to-night at the Theatre, and promises a capital entertainment. The Company have been very highly spoken of by the Christchurch Press. The expresses to-day, in both directions, had an unusually large number of passengers, the excess probably consisting of returning excursionists. The one from the south comprise I nine cranages, and two engines were required to draw it. The laying down of temporary lines to accommodate the railway traffic while the new station is being built, is rapidly being proceeded with, A line of tramway is to he laid from Christchurch down the Ferry road. The plant arrived this week in the Helen Scott. The long spell of hot weather we have lately had, appears to have terminated. To-day has been pleasantly cool, and a cloudy sky in the moning promised rain, which began to fall quietly about two o’clock. It is to be hoped that we shall have a few good showers, for the country is getting very dry. Later, however, the sky cleared, and the much wanted rain, threatens to hold off. An official notice respecting the annual election of school committees on Monday, 28rd inst., is advertised this evening. Mr Alfred Cameron advertises his sale of programmes for three events at the Dunedin February meeting. Are these the 'kreck cards f Can’t be. Price (fil each) too high for that. Is it a " consultation” notion? Can’t be. The Gaming and Lotteries Act has put a stop (?) to them.

NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CHRISTCHURCH. Those that wbh to be represented at the International Exhibition, to be held in Christchurch in March next, should inform us of their intentions. We have been con- i nectcd 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, and one second awards, three of which were New Zealand firms, (D. Strang, and J. T. Martin, Invercargill; and T. Bevan, Wellington). Onr plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix the exhibit in its space, attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the Exhibition remains open. At the close repack and send their poods back, or sell them, or duplicates thereof if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come up to the Exhibition and fix their exhibits, which amount to an expense, besides the loss of time which they must necessarily expend on them. Then again the exhibitors have a benefit, they have no trouble of getting space, They let us knowhow much is required, we get it for them as we have a large amount granted to us. We fix &c, the exhibits on abetter space than if they applied themselves. Our terms are moderate. We specially caution the pub'ic against giving their exhibits to so called exhibtion agents, who have been the rounds of all the Exhibitions, and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. —Albert Manders and Co., British and Colonial Manufacturers’ Agent, Head Office —91 Little Collins street, Melbourne; and at 67 King William street, Adelaide; Perth, W.A.— Town Hall; Permanent Branch in Christchurch, after Ist of March ; London—St. Paul’s Buildings.
