NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CUEISTCHUKCH.

Those that wish to be represented at the International Exhibition, to. be in Christcliurch in March next should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the International Exhibitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition, we represented 60 exhibitors, for which we received S special gold medals, 49 first awards, 3 of which were New Zealand firms, (D, Strang, and J. T. Martin, In vercargill; and T. Sevan, Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors transact their business, fix their exhibits en

their space, attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the Exhibition remains open. At the close, repack and send back exhibits or sell, or duplicates thereof if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the Exhibition, and fix their exhibits, which amcynt to an expense, besides the loss of time which must necessarily be expended on them, then again exhibitors have a beneat, they have no trouble of getting space-, they let us know ; we get it for tliemaa we have a large amount granted to us" \Ve fix them, &c, (the exhibits) on a better space than if they applied themselves, Our termß are moderate. Wo specially caution the public against giving their exhibits to so-culled exhibition agents who go the rounds of Exhibitions, and run exhibitors, into debt and other difficulties. On account of our not being able to give exhibitors the exact amount of our fee as it is impossible to do so till we know the size of exhibit, they may rely on it being very reasonable. The exhibit should be addressed' * Albert S. Manders & Co., New Zealand Exhibition, Christcjmrch." If Exhibitors will kindly send a, note saying how much space they re quire, no further trouble will be necessary. --Albert Manders' and Co., British and Colonial Manufacturers' Agents.
