Mr Frnstrick, Chairman of they Ceremonial and Entertainment Committee of the Exhibition, states that a full meeting of the Ente'-fcainmaut Committee was held this afternoon to consider the position in view of the new managerial arrangements, but that it was decided to comrauniciate nothing as to the result pending submission of the decision to the Minister in a~ day or two, Colonel Pitt being at present indisposed. ETaranaki did not crowd its Court with exhibits, but by maps, photographs and models, resolved to acquaint visitors to the Exhibition with the agricultural and pastoral, mineral and timber resources of the d isti lot as well as with saenic beauties. At the back of the Qourt are two very striking and valuable mapß showing the geography and geology resources, and even the history of the district. 1 These maps are each eight feet square. One map j dhows, by the aid of coloured sec- j tions, the formation of the country, quality of land and its suitability for various industries, and other such useful information; the other map, which is also coloured, indicates localities of differentjbranches of the dairying industry, cattle raising as well as wool and mineral products. The Ashburton Court makes a very strikiug display of its chief assets —grain and wool. The section is girt with pillars of Mount Somers stone, and presents a decidedly substantial appearance. There are several exhibits of wool of different classes in cases. An arch of miniature grain sheaves en olosos some specimens of trout from the Ashburton Rivers. Wool is worked into the decorations, and the name of the Court; is done in wool on blue ground. Southland and Stewart Island oceupv a neat, unpretentious Court. The limits of the Court are indicated by signboards bearing on the outside the names of the centres, and on the inside statistics relating to the several localities. The prin cipal display in the Court is that of the pastoral and dairying pursuits. Thera are, also, tasteful exhibits of flax, grain and seeds, while wheat and oafs enter into decoration.
