New Zealand Industrial Exhibition, 1885.

PRIZE ESSAYS.

Wellington, 29th December, 1884.

ONE gold medal and twenty guineas, one silver medal
and ten guineas, and one bronze medal and five
guineas will be awarded for essays on the present condition
and future prospects of the industrial resources of New
Zealand, and the best means for fostering their development.

In judging of the merits of the essays preference will be
given to those which are of a practical character, rather than
to mere abstract or theoretical disquisitions. The essays
must be sent in to the Secretary of the Exhibition, signed
with a motto and accompanied by a sealed envelope con-
taining the author's name and address, on or before the 1st
day of December, 1885. This late date is fixed to enable
the essayists, if they desire to do so, to utilize the informa-
tion which the Exhibition itself will supply.

The essays will be submitted to a Board of three persons,
to be hereafter appointed, on whose decision respecting the
merits of the essays the above prizes will be awarded; pro-
vided the essays reach a sufficiently-deserving standard of
excellence.
