New South Walts hi s several trophies of bales of wool, Oiago h:is ati arch of the same material while the manufactured woollen goods need no description, they are excellent. The Timber trade comes next. Here the Auck land Kauri Timber Company scores heavily with two enormous kauri boards, and capital doors, sashes, etc. The Midland Railway Company have an imitation organ, the lower front of which is made of the polished samples of 13 different kinds of woods, and the imitation pipes of sections of young trees of the same classes as the woods below, The Public Works Depart ment also has a tine display of polished woods. In furniture made from New Zealand woods, the Auckland Furniture Company comes to the front with overmantels, cabinets; and a bedroom suite which will compare favourably for beauty and finish with anything in the Exhibition. L?ou!lar and Chisholoi make a much larger show with a suit of tastefully furnished rooms, and Walter Guthiie, of Invercargill also have some originally-designed furniture. Grain is freely shown, some of tho samples being remarkably good. In wheat, Canterbury takes the palm, but in barley and oats nothing touches Otago. Tinned goods, especially fish, are shown in great variety. Auckland takes the lead with a large num ber of exhibits in this line. The Gear Company, of Wellington, also have a fine show of tinned provisions. Canterbury is poorly represented in this line. In flax, the whitest and best fibre are shown by the Auckland Fibre Company and L. D. Nathan and Co., but the Canterbury people make n bulkier display of very good flax. Of soaps and candles, there are several artistically designed exhibits. Un doubtedly the best snap in the Exhibition is that of Warnock Bros. The best candles are by McLeod Bros. (Limited). Kitchen and Sons make a display of odds and ends, like a grocer's shop, but not nearly as good as their exhibition at the Wellington Exhi bition. In perfumes, Messrs J, and T. Mason (of Auckland) and Wilkinson (of Dunedin) compete for honours. The former has much the larger show. The end of my space has arrived, and I have not even commenced to tell of the exhibits. I shall have to take court by court each week, commencing next week with the Auck land Court.
