THE EXHIBITION. (By Telegraph Spocinl Service.) CHRISTCHURCH, last night. Tho attendance at the Exhibition yesterday was one of tho largest known, no fewer than 16,434 people passing through tho turnstiles. Over three thousand visited the Axemen s Carnival in the afternoon, and tho immense crowd that thronged Wonderland in tho evening, attracted b.y tho Floral r ote, was tho largest yet experienced . Tho foto was, from all points of view, a complete success. The grounds woro brilliantly lighted, and tho floral costumes fine, and tho comic dresses and masked ploasuretralters made up a remarkably gay effect. A temporary frontage of a seven-story house, with numerous windows, had boon specially constructed, and through tho windows flame and smoke belched forth in a highly natural wav. A fireman rescued tho woman occupant from the highest story, holding her by his teeth, and sliding with her down a tight rope into tho lake. Twentythree. thousand People aro said to have witnessed the spectacle, which will be repeated on Saturday night. A party of Wanganui Maoris have arrived at tho pa, and they gave their first dance before a fair attendance this afternoon. The weather Isas been cold and showery oil day, causing fewer people to visit the Exhibition than usual. The Besses of tho Ban Band had to uso tlio Concert Hall this afternoon, and will do so again this evening. Tho display of fireworks had to bo postponed. A party of six West Australian swimmers, who will take part in tho Exhibition Carnival, to bo,hold in February, have arrived in Christchurch.

Tho Orchestral Society of Auckland, seventy strong, arrived to-day, and will give performances in the Concert Hajl- on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. Madame Wiolart, a vocalist of European reputation, and Hamilton Hodges, of Auckland, will be vocalists.

Three thousand people, inspected the sweated industries exhibition yesterday, and much indignation is expressed in tho visitors’ book at the existence of such conditions. Moro than one visitor has suggested that, after the Exhibition is over, these exhibits should be shown in all the principal towns of the colony, as an object lesson of what can happen in tho way of labor evils. The Secretary lias received from Sir Joseph Ward a large and beautifully ornamented silver cup as a trophy for tho competitor gaining the most points in tho championship bagpipo music events at the Now Zealand Athletic Union’s great meeting on January 24 and 26 Mr. T. IV. Woods, president of tho Athletic Union, states that 400 entries have bean received for the very extensive programme, which consists of 37 ovents, covering tho whole range of athletic sports, besides bagpipe music, reels and other competitions.

John Connell, vicepresident of the Canterbury Caledonian Society; sword dance, for boys and girls, for a prize offered by Patrick Campbell, president of the Society ; high jumping and polo jumping championship. The Brass Band contest, fixed for February 11 and 16 inclusive, promises to be a great success. On February 7 the Canterbury Automobile Association will hold a gymkhana in the Sports Ground preceded by.a motor car parade from the city to the field of action. A very novel and attractive programme is under preparation.

Sheep yarding competitions, forming the concluding event of the Christchurch Dog Trial Club’s Trials, will bo held on the Sports Ground on March 25. Tho Sports Ground is particularly well suited for this kind of competition, owing to the presence of seating accommodation. A great meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association will be held on February 20 and 23.
