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 containing
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 information
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; provided
the essays reach a sufficiently-deserving standard of
excellence.

Notice to Mariners, No. 37 of 1885.

ALTERATION OF POSITION OF BEACONS AT WESTPORT.

Marine Department,

Wellington, N.Z., 25th September, 1885.

THE Westport Harbour Board have given notice that,
owing to the front beacon being in an unsafe position,
the leading river beacons from the bar inwards on a south-
easterly bearing will, on and after the 1st October, 1885, be
moved inland about five chains. The change will scarcely
be observed from ships entering the Buller River, except
that the beacons may not be seen quite so soon after
crossing the bar as at present, but this is not material. The
compass bearing is about the same.
