The director of entertainments lias 1,, on instructed accordingly. The Minister intimated that jiionipt acceptance by (lie of this suggested arrangement was necessary. Ail adept in the ilillieult art' of throwing boomerang:- has made av raiigeinents with the general manager im- giving exhibitions of his nkil). The first < if these will probably i,e conlieeteil with one of tiie ilispa'ys of day light fireworks or the next' joint entertainment given by the Fijians and Maoris. The Fijians have attracted such large attendances of late that it i- miller.,tood (hat their stay, which was (o have eome to an end very shortly, may be prolonged. Tiie coiunfittee in charge 'of the Southland eourt have been allowed to reeoup themselves for some of their expenses, and exhibits an important local indus try in a very practical fashion by opening an oyster saloon on the grounds. The saloon is now being erected. The famous Newcastle Band, probably the finest brass combination that Australia has produce, left Sydney- on Saturday to take jiiirt in t'r.e Kxii.oilion band contest, which commences on Monday next.

Large entries have been received for the be. gonhi fsln>\v, which wiii be held in the main corridor tomorrow and Thursday. The magnificent display of htags' heads in ilie Tourist Department's court invariably arouses the surprise and admiration of overset visitors. North Otago, Wairarapa, and Nelson are well represented in the collodion <>f red/decr. There ;ire also fallow buck-' head* from Tapanui and Auckland, and one head each of Wapiti, tfambur and Kxis. Tiie heads have all been carefully measured according to recognised methods, and full pavlicu lars with regard to them are in the collection of red deer heads, M North Otago heads range in number oi points from V> to IV and average 13. The Nelson collection range from 1() point* to 17, and one head, that of the lirsl .stag imported; ha* 20 points, the average being a little over J2. Thirty , nine Wairarapa heads range 10 to 17. with an average of a little over Ja. The department of the exhibiJion which is never without patrons is the babies' creche, where infants can be left; by the hour, under expert superintendence, while parents enjoy the sights of'tiie great fair free from trouble or re>ponsibility. As a modern exhibit, the creche possesses interest, of its own. and it adds to the general revenue. both by means of the charges made for infants, and by allowing both parent* to visit the Inhibition when otherwise only one might get.
