Paris Exhibition.-New Zealand Awards.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 21st November, 1889.

THE following letter, received from the Agent-General for
New Zealand, London, is published for general infor-
mation.

W. R. RUSSELL.

Westminster Chambers, 15, Victoria Street,
London, S.W., 5th October, 1889.

SIR, - The distribution of awards at the Paris Exhibition
took place on the 29th September, with much ceremony, in
the presence of the President of the Republic, the Ministers,
the official staff of the Exhibition, and many thousands of
exhibitors and guests of the Republic.

The awards given to New Zealand amount to 66, com-
prising 3 grands prix, 10 gold medals, 23 silver medals, 16
bronze medals, and 14 honourable mentions. It is not, how-
ever, the intention of the French Government to give any
actual medals, but only certificates or diplomas representing
them.

I beg to enclose a classified statement denoting the groups
and classes of the New Zealand awards. The following may
perhaps be found a convenient summary of these awards:-

I. GRANDS PRIX-3.

The Government receive all three, for their collective
exhibits of minerals, wool, and birds.

Of these the Government receive, for their collection of
cereals and forest products, 2.

vour Inlet Company, 1; Kapanga Mining Company, 1;

Liardet, 1.

It will be a long time before the diplomas themselves are
ready, as there are so many thousands of them to be made
out.

I trust that on the whole, and considering the exhibits
sent from New Zealand, the number of awards given to the
colony will be satisfactory alike to the private exhibitors and
to the Government.

I have, &c.,
F. D. BELL.
