The Dunedin Exhibition.

A FEW HINTS TO THS COMMITTEE. [CY A. FRAUD, ESQ.] As the question oi having Gisborne represented at the Dunedin Exhibition has been taken up in real earnest, I hope that every efforc will be made to get a genuine representation of the place. With that view, I think it would be desirable if you, Mr Standard, were to throw your columns open for a few suggestions as to how this can best ba done, and I take the liberty of assuming that,’ as usual in any case where the public good is concerned, you will reciprocate my view. I bag then to gst the ball rolling by appending —
