Australian International Exhibition.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 20th January, 1879.

REFERRING to the notice published in the New
Zealand Gazette No. 36, of the 26th of April,
1878, relative to the Australian International Ex-
hibition to be held in Sydney, New South Wales, in
August, 1879, it is hereby further notified that the
Government of New Zealand will be prepared to
receive and to forward to Sydney any articles for
exhibition which may be prepared by persons resi-
dent in this colony.

A Royal Commission will be appointed immediately,
who will prepare and publish regulations under which
they will receive exhibits for transmission.

As articles for exhibition should be shipped from
Wellington not later than June next, persons wish-
ing to exhibit are invited to communicate with Dr.
Hector, the Chairman of the Royal Commission,
without delay.

All expenses of transmitting and exhibiting ap-
proved articles will be defrayed by the 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 allowed to the colony for exhibition 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 have
been instructed to receive exhibits, and to forward
them to the Chairman of the Exhibition Commission
at Wellington, by whom they will be collected and
transmitted to Sydney; but no exhibits can be re-
ceived later than the 30th June, 1879.

After the Exhibition is closed, the exhibits will be
either returned to exhibitors free of expense, or sold
or otherwise disposed of in Sydney, at the desire of
the exhibitors; but the Government undertakes no
responsibility for loss or damage, either in transit or
during exhibition, or in regard to the price to be
realized if sold, nor will they guarantee the safe
remittance of the money.
