Colonial Secretary's Office,

Wellington, 20th September, 1872.

The following letter from the Agent-General relative to the representation of the Colony of New Zealand at the International Exhibition, which is to be held in Vienna, in 1873, is published for general information.

The Government recognizing that this Exhibition will afford an excellent opportunity for disseminating accurate information respecting the resources of the Colony, and the advantages it offers as a field for immigration, desire to afford every facility for the collection and transmission of specimens of such articles as are available for export and for the employment of a large population.

As articles for exhibition should be shipped not later than 15th January next, persons wishing to exhibit are invited to communicate with the Under Secretary without delay.

All expense of transmission and exhibition of approved articles will be defrayed by Government; but, as experience has proved that in exhibitions of this kind the best effect is produced by a few well-displayed objects of considerable size, and as the space allotted to the Colony in the Exhibition Building will be limited, a careful selection will have to be made, so that the representation may be complete.

The Collectors of Customs at the various ports of the Colony have been instructed to receive exhibits, and to forward them to the port from which they will be shipped to the Agent-General, who will be instructed to undertake their proper arrangement in the Exhibition.

As it is understood that a Competitive Exhibition of Staple Articles of Produce will be held in Christchurch, opening on the 15th December, advantage will be taken of it to select the best exhibits of the following articles for transmission to Vienna, so that persons desirous of having such articles forwarded should, in the first instance, send them to the Christchurch show:-

Articles to be arranged for exhibition under the following classes:-

I. Minerals, such as—

• Metals and metallic ores.
• Coals, rock oil, &c.

II. Raw Produce, such as—

• Grain, grass seed, and hops.
• Wool, hides.
• Phormium fibre, timbers.
• Gum, whale oil, and bone.
• Shells for inlaying, etc.

III. Manufactures—

• Mats and cordage, doors and sashes.
• Malt, flour, and meal.
• Preserved meats, fish, and fruits.
• Salt beef and pork.
• Soap, wines and spirits.
