ST. MARY'S INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.

—■ —. li At St. Mary's Hall on Thursday was I opened an Industrial Exhibition and , s Bulb Show, which was well patronised 11 both in the afternoon and evening !' Tbe exhibit* hid been arranged with ( considerable care, and muoh pains had 1 bi ea spent in displiying th«n to ad- 1 yantage. The main hall was devoted 1 'chiefly to the floral and needlework 1 exhibits, the walls being used for displaying specimens of map-drawing, writing, paintings, line drawings, art needlework, etc. There were also some handsome exhibits in silverware, china, etc., which were greatly admired. The bulb flowers made an excellent display, and the table decorations, wreaths, crosses, and made-up flowers were very creditable. In the adjoining room were some excellent samples of woodcarvinp, which are well worth inspectiug. Here also are two models over which the youthful executants must hive spent much time and care. One is a fort and ihe other a lake village, the latter being a mass of infioitessimal reed work put together with much skill. In this room also are the specimens of cookery, which have all more or less merit. There is a very good selection of work and other articles for sile at favourable prices, and good business was done in this and the refreshment departments during yesterday. Amongst a number of other very pleasing exhibits of fancy work were the following:—A beautiful drawn-thread tray-cloth and pillow shams, by Miss Bennett; some handi some point-lacs, exhibited by Mm Longford; Hoaitoa lice, by Miss F.
