282 Auckland Provincial Government Gazette.

3. I should be very glad if your Honour would kindly interest yourself to procure really good and well-prepared specimens of such of the above-named articles as are produced in the Province under your administration, with the exception of Gold specimens, which the Government will arrange to obtain through the Bank of New Zealand.

4. An application will be made to Parliament to provide the necessary funds for the purpose, and I should feel obliged if your Honour would furnish an estimate of the probable amount that will be required to defray the expense of making a collection of the products of the Province under your administration, and sending them to Wellington, where they will be packed, and forwarded to their destination.

5. I wish to impress upon your Honour that it is very desirable that the Government should carefully guard themselves against any responsibility as regards the return or final disposal of the exhibits. I trust therefore that you may be able to arrange that while the producer of each article is assured of receiving full credit for its production, the article itself shall be at the absolute disposal of the Government; to ensure which it will be necessary that each exhibitor who will not freely give up his goods for exhibition should be paid a fair valuation for them before they are sent away, excepting of course cases in which the exhibitors elect to give their own directions as to the disposal of their goods.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) DANIEL POLLEN.

His Honour
The Superintendent,
Auckland.
