Proposed Melbourne Industrial Exhibition

Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 29th July, 1865.

THE following letter from the Chief Secretary, Melbourne, respecting an Industrial Exhibition, proposed to be held in Melbourne, in the early part of 1866, is published for general information.

J. C. RICHMOND.

Chief Secretary’s Office,
Melbourne, 5th July, 1865.

Sir,—I have the honour to inform you that, in compliance with an address from the Legislative Assembly, a sum of £2000 has been placed upon this year’s estimates for the purpose of defraying the preliminary expenses of an Exhibition of General Industries and Art, which it is proposed shall be held in Melbourne in the early part of 1866.

This, it is hoped, will lead to a series of Exhibitions of a like nature being held in succession in the several Australasian Colonies; and I would now invite the support and co-operation of your Government to give effect to so desirable an object.

Commissioners will be appointed under Royal Commission to carry out the various details, and as every means within their power will be taken to render the undertaking attractive and successful, it is trusted that all those interested in the development of the industries and resources of the Australasian Colonies will aid in the efforts of the Commissioners by a timely and cordial co-operation.

I have, &c.,
JAMES M’CULLOCH.
