THE EXHIBITION.
Dunkdin, October 22. Today's list of accepted guests for tho Exhibition includo Sir John Hay (President of the Legislative Council of New South Wales), Mr Eraser (Under-Secretary of Justice), Sir Patrick Jennings,and nine membersof tlio legislature, and the PostmasterGeneral (Mr O'Connor), representing the Ministry from Victoria, and nine additional members of the Legislature, and one from South Australia. New South Wales will have separate trophies of wool, wine, and coal. At a meeting of tho Tourists' Court Committee to-day after getting particulars of the concessions made on the Australian railways in connection with the Exhibition, some discussion took place as to what the New Zealand Commissioners intended doing. It was pointed out that the return fare from the Bluff to Punedin .£llos [supposing that to be somewhat about tho rate] was quite disproportionate to the fare of £2 arranged between Adelaide and Melbourne and back, a distance of 1200 miles. Hope was expressed that the Commissioners will meet visitors in the same spirit as the authorities of the other colonies to prevent this colony getting a bad' name.
