THE EXHIBITION.
EXHIBITS continue still to come into the Hall. festerday we noticed a Maori Kamoti or bowl, sent by Mr Robert Graham. It is carved from a solid lump of Totara, and has a lid of the same wood. It is certainly one of the best bits or Maori carviug we have ever seen. Mr J. Walker, C.E., has sent in drawings or ecclesiastical crosses and ornaments, m addition to his other drawings. Some one from Taranaki has sent up specimens of iron sand in its natural state, and ot the metal in all its different forms, from the rough bar which is turned out of the furnace up to a cold chisel beautifully polished. They have also sent iron sand cloth which is” equal to the bast emery paper made, and a piece or two of the slug. We cannot say who exhibits the articles, as they have been sent up without any name on them. A very handsome knitted quilt has been sent in by Mrs Hume, made, we understand, by that lady herself. Owing to the heavy rain which fell in the evening the attendance last night was but thin.
