Getting at it at Last.— A witness named John Dwyer, being examined at Sydney, an amusing dialogue took place between him and the examining counsel, Mr Qjiinlan. Mr Quinlan asked the wit ness ij'ho told him a certain fact. Wit ness : Paddy Dwyer, sir. Mr Quinlan : Was anybody present 1 Witness : Yes, sir. Mr Quinlan : Who ? Witness : Paddy Dwyer, sir. (Laughter.) Mr Quinlan: Of course he was; but anybody elr:e 1 Witness : Yes, air. Mr Quinlan (thinking he had get him at last); Who ? Witness: I was, sir. Inteknational Exhibition, Cheist chuech. —Those that wish to be repre sented at the International Exhibition to be held in Christchurch in April next, should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the Exhi bitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented sixty exhibitors, for which we received ten sp icia;. gold medals, forty-nine first and on|3 second award, three of which were N<w Zealand firms (D. Strange and J. T. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Sevan, Wiillington). Our plan is to represent th<|i exhibitors, transact their busines, fix thiliir exhibits on their space, attend to th<ii judging of exhibits on their space, anci anything necestary while the exhibi tion remains openat the close pack and send back exhibits or sell them, or duplicates thereof if required, it :is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the Exhibition to fix their exhi bits, which amounts to an expense, be sides the loss of time which must neces sarily be expended on them. Then, again, thtf exhibitors have a benefit, they have no trouble of getting space. They let us : know how much is required, and we set it for them, as we have a large am ount granted to us. We fix the ex hibits on a better space than if they ap plied themselves. Our terms are mode rate. We specially caution the public agiinst giving their exhibits to so-called Exhibition agents, who go the rounds of Exhibitions and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. On account of our noi: being able to give exhibitors the exact amount of our fee, as it is impossible to do so until we know the size of exhibit, they may rely on it being most reason able. The exhibits should be addressed “Albert S. Manders and Co., Christ church Exhibition.” If exhibitors will kindly send a note stating how ( much space they require, no further trouble will be necessary.— Albert S.

Business Notices. rpO FARMERS AND OTHERS. The successful result of the last year’s shipment on farmers’ account, and the exceedingly satisfactory prices realised, combined with very moderate charges, as compared with those of other mer chants, encouraged us to go more ex tensively into this particular branch of business this year. We do so feeling confident that the Farmers of this County will SUPPORT A LOCAL FIRM, whose interest is inseparably allied with their own, rather than encourage agencies of firms, whose only interest in the district is to make as much profit out of the place as possible, without leaving anything adequate in return. On this ground alone we think we may fairly roly on the good sense of our friends to work with us, and so help to PUSH THE DISTRICT AHEAD. We have now much pleasure in in forming the Farmers and others in this County that we have CHARTERED SEVERAL FIRST CLASS IRON VESSELS, which we hope to despatch during the next and following months of the en suing grain season. i**- For particulars read next adver tisement.
