13th August, 1880.

SIR,—I have the honor to transmit, for the infor-
mation of the Government, a circular letter, &c.,
which I have received from the Crystal Palace Com-
pany respecting an Exhibition of Wool and Manufac-
tories, &c., which it is proposed to hold in 1881.
I have, in reply, suggested that the circular might
with advantage be sent to the Chambers of Com-
merce and Agricultural and Pastoral Associations in
the colony.

I have, &c.,
JULIUS VOGEL,
Agent-General.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington.

Crystal Palace, Sydenham, S.E.,
10th August, 1880.

SIR,—I have the honor to inform you that the
Directors of the Crystal Palace Company have deter-
mined to hold a series of International Exhibitions,
commencing next year with one chiefly devoted to
wool and its industrial appliances, and the machinery
connected therewith, of which a programme is for-
warded.

As all nations are more or less interested in the
woollen manufacture, the Directors trust that they
may have the benefit of your official influence in
making the intended Exhibition generally known,
and will also be glad to be favoured with any prac-
tical suggestions from you calculated to promote the
objects aimed at, namely, the extension of com-
mercial relations between nations.

I have, &c.,
P. L. SIMMONDS,
Superintendent of the International
Exhibition Department.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—International Exhibition Depart-
ment.—Exhibition for 1881: Wools, Woollen
Manufactures, and Allied Industries. Commen-
cing in June and ending in October.

No charge will be made to exhibitors for space.

Medals and certificates of merit will be awarded
by competent jurors to be appointed.

The Directors will furnish motive-power for work-
ing machinery free; but any driving-belts, connec-
tions, or attachments required must be made at the
expense of the exhibitors.

All applications from intending exhibitors must
furnish full particulars of the space required, and the
objects intended to be shown, and be sent in to the
Superintendent before the 1st January, 1881. After
careful consideration and revision by the Directors
of the demands received, due notice will be given to
the applicants whether any and what space can be
granted them.

Goods intended for exhibition must be delivered,
with freight and all charges paid, by a date to be
hereafter fixed. The cases must be addressed to the
Superintendent, International Exhibition Depart-
ment, Crystal Palace, bearing some mark or num-
ber, and accompanied with a detailed invoice of the
contents. The cases will then be handed over to the
duly-authorized agent of the exhibitor to open and
arrange.

Due notice of the appointment of an agent by an
exhibitor must be forwarded to the Superintendent
for approval and sanction by the 1st April, 1881. If
he is required to attend at the stand daily, a free pass
into the Palace will be granted him for the term
of the Exhibition, subject to the approval of the
Directors, who, however, reserve the power to with-
draw the pass whenever they may consider it desir-
able.
