We have exhausted our space without being able to notice above half the pictures we had marked. Some of those that remain, to be described are the finest in the Exhibition, and we shall take an early opportunity of con tinuing our notes.
The attendance at the Exhibition through out the day was above the average, and tbs announcement of the first of four entertain ments to be given during the season had the effect of attracting a numerous and fashion able audience during the evening. The lighting of the building has teen en trusted to Messrs Weir Bros., and they are eniithd to the highest commendation for the manner in which they have carried out the directions of the Committee.
The musical entertainment was decidedly successful, and some of the performances had to be repeated, more especially that of Miss Lavinit Taylor (concertina). The pro gramme consisted of an overture by the band (Messrs Zinckgrsff, Biioz, and Coo on bet) song by Dr Haast; flute solo by Mr Thomp son ; song by a lady ; pianoforte fantasia by Mr song by Mr Appleby,and a piano forte duet by Mrs Haast and Mias Robison. The entertainment closed at 10 o’clock with the National Anthem.
