THE EXHIBITION BUILDINGS.
By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH. July 30. The realisation of the Exhibition Buildings and other property is turning out remarkably well. Mr T.iunro told a reporter, to-day, that v, hereas the estate was at one time expected to realise £15,000, it was now pretty certain that the figur j when all was sold would be at least £30,000. It will probably be six months even now before the grend is entirely cleared of the various erections and all the debris of tho Exhibition. The remaining pieces of the marble statuary by Mr Summers, of Melbourne, have been sold to the Tourist Department for £2,000. This must be regarded as satisfactory, seeing that the price paid by the Exhibition was about £2,600, and one of the pieces had since been sold for £BO. The statues are still lodged at the Christchureh oflico of the Department, but it is considered probable that Rotorua will be their final destination.
