International Exhibition, Christchurch.

Those who'wish to be represented at the International Exhibition, to be held in Christchurch in March next should'inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the Exhibitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented 60 exhibitors, for which we received 10 special gold medals, 49 first and second awards, three of which were New Zealand firms (D. f Strang and J. T. Martin, Inveronrgill, and T.Bevan,, Wellington). Oar plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix their exhibits on 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 them or duplicates thereof if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the Exhibition to fix their exhibits, which amounts to an expense, besides the loss of time which must necessarily be expended on them. Then again the exhibitors have a benefit, they have no trouble in stetting space ; they let us know how much is required, and we get it for them. As we have' a large amount granted to us,' we fix, &c, the exhibits, on a better space than if they applied themselves: our terms, are moderate. We specially caution the public against giving their exhibits to socalled Exhibition agents, who go the round of exhibitions and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. On account-of our ,not being able to give the exact amount of our fee, as it is impossible to do so until we know the size of exhibit, they may rely on it being most reasonable. The exhibits should be addressed Albert 8. Manders and Co., Christchurch exhibition. If exhibitors will kindly send a note stating how much space they require no further trouble will be necessary.— -ALBEjaT..^. Mx»beeß, & Co., British and Colonial Manufacturers, agent.
