EXHIBITION AT OTAHUHU.

The Exhibition at Otahuhu was visited by very large numbers on Thursday afternoon and evening. There had not been many visitors in the morning, and there AA rerc feAV besides the children and their parents, to witness the presentation by the Bishop of the prizes for the Holy Scripture examina tion.-.. But Avlieu the doors vvere thrown open at 2 o'clock, visitors began to pour in, not only from Otahuhu but from the sur rounding districts of Panniurc, Tamaki, Papatoitoi, Woodside, Mangare, and even Onehunga, until the large Hall became completely filled, and it AA'as quite difficult to make a way along between the tables upon which were arranged most of the exhibit.--. Mr Martin's paintings Avere a great centre of attraction and were univer sally admired, while the beautiful engraving of Ghibertis, " Gates of San Giovani," also exhibited by Mr Martin, was studied with interest by many. Other objects of interest were an "old German oil-painting " Der Klciuc Wiidcliieb/'and some tine engravings exhibited by Mr Fairburn. Collections of -Maori and Fijian curiosities by Rev G. Similes, Rev Dr. Kinder, and Mrs W. Brewer were examined A\rith great interest, as were also Miss Logan's collection of Irish and South Sea Island curios. The handiwork of tho girls was examined and criticised by great numbers of ladies, and the monster pumpkins and melons exhi bited by the boys were very prominent in the centre of the Hall. After closing for an hour, the doors were re-opened at 7.30 and a crowded house assembled to a sort of promenade concert, at which some selections of sacred and secular music were rendered by the choir and the children of the Sunday schools. The fol loAving is the programme : —First part. "Instrumental Piece," Miss Fairburn; hymn, "Uh for the Robes," School children ; solo, "' He Avas despised," Miss Fairburn ; hymn, " Jerusalem the Golden," Schoolchildren; solo, " Children's Voices," Miss Fairburn, chorus by school children ; solo, " O Rest in the Lord," Miss E. Fair bnrn; hymn, "Shall we Gather," School children. Second part. "Instrumental Piece," Miss Fairburn; "Beautiful Star," Miss Freda Fairburn, and chorus of chil dren; "Poor Old J eft'," School children; solo, " Mignonette," Mr A. Gilliilau; "Eulalie," Miss Freda Fairburn; solo, "Muriel," Miss C. L. Long. The " Na tional Anthem " concluded a very pleasant evening's entertainment, in Avhich the child ren acquitted themselves Avell, calling forth great applause by the Avay in Avhich they rendered the chorus of "Children's Voices." Miss Frederica Fairburn, a little lady only nine, years old, deserves great praise for her rendering of "Eulalie" and "Beautiful Star." The Exhibition was again open the next afternoon until six o'clock, and AA ras very well attended. To judge from the approving remarks of visitors, and the intense satisfaction which beamed on the face of every little member of the Sunday school, any future exhibition is likely to be strongly supported.

Long experience has proA'cd these famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter com plaints Avhich are more particularly incidental to the'ihfe of a miner, or those liA-ing in the bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, viz.:—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent forerunners of fever, dysentery, diarrhoea, ana cholera. Is the most effectual remedy for old sores wounds, ulcers, rheumatism, and all skin diseases ; in fact, when used according toitM printed directions, it ne.A^er fails to cure alike, deep and superficial ailments. „ These Medicines may be obtained from an respectable Druggists and Storekeepers througa* out the civilised Avorld, with directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor. THOMAS HOLLOW AY, 533, Oxford-3treett ondon. „/_,-„ V Beware of Counterfeits that may ewanftw from the United States. .__ , r"
