Wellington Industrial Exhibition, Opening Address by the Governor. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH, UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Last Night.

The Wellington Industrial Exhibition was opened by His Excellency the Governor this afternoon. In reply to the address of the President, His Excellency said: — "Gentlemen, — I am far from thinking any apology necessary for your request that I should be present at the opening of this Exhibition ; on the contrary, I am grateful to you for the wish that I should take part in the proceedings and be associated with you in your undertaking. Such Exhibitions must always in a new and rising country be attended with peculiar interest, not attaching to perhaps more dazzling displays of older communities. We see in them the first tentative steps taken to ascertain what are indeed tlie industries for which the looahty is really suited, or which will eventually augment in no unconscionable degree the wealth of the colony, and give employment to those of its population who are not engaged in agricultural or pastoral occupations. Before this can be effectually done, however, feelers will no doubt be thrown out in many directions without success. This is inevitable, and it is important to l'emembcr that probably no industry can obtain, and that ceitainly none deserve success unless able to command it without permanent reliance on artificial aids. The existence of manufacture, which can only be secured by the exclusion of all foreign competition with articles produced is direct injury to the people at large, and questionable benefit to the producer hi ns>elf. Yonng 1 , however, as New Zealand ia, she already pos-^esses, industries which need now fear nothing from external rivalry, and I have it on good authority that her woollen manufactures very closely contested with the vineyards of Australia for the Imperial prize awarded at the late Melbourne Exhibition for the most successful enterprise of colonial industry. The articles here collected will no doubt afford material for thought and enquiry, and I trust that their exhibition may tend to promote the development of the vast resources of the colony. "

Mr J, S. Buckland, instructed by MiThomas Rogers, will sell on tho property, Paterangi, on Monday nc\t, 30th Ma>, at 1 o'clock, the whole of the live stock, farming' implements and household furmtute. W. J. Hunter and Co. will offer a larfre number of cattle and horses at the Ohaupo yards on June 2nd, at 1 o'clock. The adjourned public meeting for the election of Trustees for the Kihikihi Cemetery will be held in the Kihikihi Hotel on Saturday next, at 7 p.m. Captain Runciman, commanding Cambridge Troop (Waikato Cavalry) convenes a meeting of the Troop at the Volunteer and Public Hall, Cambridge, on Saturday attcrnoon next, at 4 o'clock. _ The new pure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly prove a. benefit to the public. It has been a groat success in bydney and Melbourne, and when strictly carried out the customer who buys at an establishment where the goods, are marked low to ensure a rapid sale must be a great gainer. G. and C. sell their drapery millinary, and clothing at such prices for cash as jjives, the buyer the advantages of a shareholder . m a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear a portion of the loss should the i year's business prove unsatisfactory- Garlick 'and,Granwell will aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are determined to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whether they gain or lose the first year. Country buyers on remitting cash with order will be supplied with 1 goods at- co-operative* prices ; iusttlje same, as though they made a personalseloctton. Furnishing goods, such as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own factory, will be marked at sth'e lowest remunerative prices, and a. discount of *nye,p?r cent, will be allowed to those who pay at the "time of purchase.
