A dozen huge man-eating sharks caught off the Australian coast will swim in a 60-foot tank in Playland, the amusement park of the Centennial Exhibition. Mr Henry Self, manager of Playland, said that plans had been approved for securing this spectacular and unusual exhibit. At a meeting of exhibition executive officers the question of supplying such an aquarium with a constant flow of fresh sea water was discussed and found to be feasible. This was regarded as the major problem connected with the shark aquarium. It will probably be solved by piping water from Lyall Bay.
