Wellington, September 23, 1872.
SIR,—I have the honor to forward a special Gazette, containing a notice relative to the International Exhibition that is to take place in Vienna, and to request the co-operation of your Honor’s Government in having the Colony represented at the Exhibition in a worthy manner.
I would suggest the advisability of your appointing a local committee especially to assist in collecting staple articles of produce, and forwarding them to the preliminary Exhibition in Christchurch.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) HENRY SEWELL.
His Honor the Superintendent,
Taranaki.
Colonial Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 20th September, 1872.
THE following letter from the Agent-General relative to the representation of the Colony of New Zealand at the International Exhibition, which is to be held in Vienna, in 1873, is published for general information.
The Government recognising that this Exhibition will afford an excellent opportunity for disseminating accurate information respecting the resources of the Colony, and the advantages it offers as a field for immigration, desire to afford every facility for the collection and transmission of specimens of such articles as are available for export and for the employment of a large population.
As articles for exhibition should be shipped not later than 15th January next, persons wishing to exhibit are invited to communicate with the Under Secretary without delay.
All expense of transmission and exhibition of approved articles will be defrayed by Government; but, as experience has proved that in exhibitions of this kind the best effect is produced by a few well displayed objects of considerable size, and as the space allotted to the Colony in the Exhibition Building will be limited, a careful selection will have to be made, so that the representation may be complete.
The Collectors of Customs at the various ports of the Colony have been instructed to receive exhibits, and to forward them to the port from which they will be shipped to the Agent-General, who will be instructed to undertake their proper arrangement in the Exhibition.
As it is understood that a Competitive Exhibition of Staple Articles of Produce will be held in Christchurch, opening on the 15th December, advantage will be taken of it to select the best exhibits of the following articles for transmission to Vienna, so that persons desirous of having such articles forwarded should, in the first instance, send them to the Christchurch show:—
- Wool and woollen goods
- Phormium fibre and cordage
- Paper pulp
- Grain, whole and ground
- Grass seed
- Malt
- Hops
- Preserved fruits and jam
- Preserved meat and fish
- Salt beef, ham, and bacon
- Butter and cheese
- Tallow and soap
- Hides, leather, and glue
- Tobacco
