THE EXHIBITION AT WEL LINGTON.

(JJV TJSLEGKAi'H.—

' UTAH" KEi'OKTEK.)

Wiii.i.iNi.Tox, August 1. This opening of tho Exhibition on August 1 was not favoured by agreeable weather. A cod south east wind cuts one to tho bone Through tho exertions of Mr Callis, who liai acted a* Secretary to tho Exhibition Committee, and who has done wonders in tbo somewhat short space of timo ho has ho.l to sot his house in older, the exhibit') wero mostly in plnco, and though tho judging liUi not begun, it will go on without delay. 1 .sincerely believe that had it not been"for Mr Cullis's unfail ing exertions and courteous manners in smoothing over ltttle diiiicultics with exhibi tors, tlio Now Zealand Exhibition of ISSIi would not havo been opened on this day of oar Lord, August Isf, ISSj. However, His Excellency the Governor found that he had been called upon to presido over an indus trial display such as no country need be ashamed to acknowledge. After mid-day the sun shono brilliantly mid the weather was enjoyable. People aie flocking into tho Exhibition by the hundreds, und the concert hall, where tho speechify ing was to be made, had its, holding capac ity taxed to tho utmost.

Upon adaiason which was His Excellency and patty, tho Members of both branches of the Legislature with thcii families were seated. A chorus, numbering 2.(Bvoices, occupu:d seatson n raised platform at, the bad; ot the claias. Tho chorus ludio n'l woro cream dresses, the sopranos having blue taalie?, tho contraltos red utid tho altos, pink. Tho Mayors ol Auckland, ChrUtcliurch, and Wellington vere present. Tho crush in the concert room was so frightful that several ladies fainted,

Tho Colonial Trcrsurer's Speech.

Hr Julius said: —

" Your Excellency,—l greatly appreciate llio honour permitted mo in asking you to render jour services at the. opening of thif Exhibition. I could bavo wished (hat mj collenguo—tho Premier—had olliciatcd in my stead, but, with a generosity which characterises him, he was kind enough to permit mo tho distinction ot doiii^ fo. Your r xcellcncy, this Exhibition is not tho first hold in Now Zealand, but it haa this dis tinguishing feature-it is tho first helii entirely under the charge and control of the colonial Government, and confined to ioca l productions, and we owe it to tho interest which momber3 of both Housoh of the Legislature take in the loenl productions of tho°oolony. There may bo many differences of opinion as (o tho :uodo in which it is most desirable to stimulate local industries, but, your Excellency, all sides and parties, all men, have joined in placing tho highest poss<)le value upon tho local industries oi the colony. We are to somo extent, if I may use tho expression; a collection of Kobinson Crusocs, who have come to this island with the view of making tho most of what they can produce; but we are more fortunate than Robinson Crusoe, or the islands of Jules Verne, who delighted our childhood, because we receive a good deal of outside assistance; but, as a fact, the many thousands of people who are now in the colony have hud for their work, and continue to have for it, the prs cming of those things that nature bounti fully yields to tho industry of man. This country, I venture to think, is alto gether fitted for industrial purposes. Its splendid climate, its prolific soil, abundant supplies of coal, water power, the indus trious habits of the people, its distance from all other countries, and, I venture to say. its labour-loving population, must lead us to the conclusion that the colony of New Zealand is destined to become a large producing and manufacturing country. J do not tftink wo have done badly hitherto There are now living amongst us, and active still, Some of tho early pioneers of the colony ; and yet it is a fact, which I have ascertained from careful inquiry, that no later than the 31st Jlarch, 1884, two years since, the not value of property in the colony, after discharging all debts, amounted to no Jess than 127 millions ster ling, or £117 per head—not bad work for half a million of people iv one generation, and that, your Excellency, is exclusive of the property of the Maoris. It would not be right on an occasion like this to forget that we have in the native population, now that all difficulties a*-e surmounted, a race that promises to be a feature in the future of the colony, a race -whose intellectual nnd physical powers, if developed, must make them remarkable omongst the rest of mankind. (Cheers ) The present Exhibition, your Excellency, is designed to tell to what amount of pro gress we have made up to the present in the industrial development of the colony, and to servo us, moreover, as an index to future guidance, when we come to have, as I hope wo ehall have, further exhibitions from time to time. Your Excellency will, I am sure, agree with me that it is espe cially meet that members of both Houses of Parliament should bo here to have under their notice the development of the colony, and to judge frem timo to time what im provements have been made in industrial productions ; and therefore it is peculiarly gratifying to have the honour of the preaence of the President of the Legis lative Council and the Speaker of the Houee of Assembly, and nearly all the members of both Houses And, your Excellency, I am sure I speak tho views of all assembled when I say that it will be especially gratifying, not only to those now present, bit to those who nro looking to these proceedings from one end of the colony to the other, that you are able to say without indulging in unnecessary compliment, that you think this Exhibition is a credit to the industiy and labour of the people of New Zealand. (Cheers.) I will'not, your Ex cellencj, refer to another exhibition which takes place very shortly. I can only say that this present Exhibition reprs- Bents what may be done by tho union of labour and capital. Shortly we shall in the home industry branch havo an illustration of what may be done by the unaided in dustry of the individual alono. Before I conclude, I hope I may bo allowed to remark that we are first of all greatly in debted to the untiring and unwearied exertions of Dr. Hector, upon whom has devolved a vast amount of work in connection with this. Exhibition. (Cheers.) I may here also say that we are indebted to Mr Callis for the ex traordinary zeal and aptitude he has displayed, and I must not forget to men tion the service of Mr Koyworth. And, your Excellency, it is remarkable, in connec tion with this Exhibition, how much we owe to the gratuitous aid of people in all parts of the colony. I cannot too gratefully acknow ledge the efforts which have onabled us to produce the Exhibitian in a comparatively economical manner, and in such a way as will render it possible to hold other exhibi tions of a like kind from timo to time, Jt will now be only for me to say on behalf of those around me, in tho presence of the members of both Houses of the Legis lature, the high official representatives from all parts of the colony, including the Mayors of all the principal cities, how greatly we feel indebted to your Excellency for your attendance at the oponi g of this Exhibition; and I am expressing thoir opinions, 1 am sure, in saying I hope this •will not be the last occasion on which you will render a like service in connection with other Exhibitions. (Cheers.) I will ask your Excellency to address this groat gathering aid declare the Exhibition open. (Loud applause.) His Excellency said : " Tho duly now devolves upon me of formally declaring the Industrial Exhibition open, and Ido so with great pleasure, for I realise that tho undertaking which we are hero to inaugu rate, and which will, I trust, bo the first of many gatherings of the sort, marks an era ia the history of Now Zealand. I have watched the progress of tho Exhibition day by day, and I feel certain that many visitors to it will loam with surprise. I may almost say with astonishment how much energy and skill are displayed by the various citios and districts of tho colony. Tho labours of those who have been engaged in the pre paration of this work did not, assuredly. be thrown away if one result of it is the production of cordial co-opera tion and friendly unanimity between all who can look with pride on what the country, as a whole, hag achieved. It must strike anyone who examines the pro ducts around us that we are rapidly coming to the time whan the colony will be so far developed as to afford a field for rising talent in whatever direction — whether scientific, literary, mechanical,or artistic—it may develop Heelf. No doubt the Exhibi tion is small compared with the magnifi cent collections which have been dis played elswhere, but then it might not to be compared to those vast " World's Fairs" which have been celebrated from time to time since the idea was first originated by thelate Prince Consort in 1851. But to the National Exhibitions which have boon held in the various capitals of Europo at irregular intervals throughout tho pro sent century, whilst whether we con aider the value of the articles shown here or the number of exhibitors

the proportion of tho population of tho colony is larger than that of the Exhibition of ISSI was to tho popula tion of the United Kingdom in that date. I would not, however, let it be supposed that anything that may be dono in the way of exhibitions hero can free us from - may 1

•^ay tho duty—of taking part in tho greater exhibitions of Europe. It is important, that tho ".'wellers in all parts of tho colony should realise the progress that tho whole : is makinir, but it is essential to the develop ment of New Zealand as a producing country iind a country which seeks an increased population that tho outsido world should have a correct idea of tho history, scenery, fertility, and general capabilities of this rich and beautiful country. So early as 1851, when tho English population ol New Zealand did not amount, to more than twenty iivo thousand souls, and the colonial revenue was not fifty thousand pound?, I find that no less than forty ex hibitors connected with New Zealand took part in tho London International Exhibition. What cannot bo done with a popu lation ot half-a-million. and industries developed as wo see them horo to-d>iy ' -V year ago, when lecturing not far from this spot, I fpDko about the alarming increase in tho destructive power of nodem instruments of war. It is a subject of great interest, though a lamentable one, to the soldier no less than to the civilian, when wo consider how much good might havo boon done if only tho labour and in "onuity which had been used in devising im plements of destruction could have been di rected into peaceful channel.-'. It isa matter of congratulation that in Now Zealand, at least, we know weapons of war only asamoans of ensuring peace. lam glad to think that during tho last few months. I havo been ablo to turn my porsonal knowlcdgo to ac count by assisting to shield this country, its people, and its commerce, against ovils that might result from attack by a hostile power. Itisagreaterpleasurcto mctobohoro to-day to take my plane as Her Majesty's representative in tho formal inauguration of the lirst New Zealand Industrial Exhibi tion. Wo cannot, it is true, unlock the treasures of aby gone ago—tho historical collections which havo formed so interesting .n part of tho Exhibitions of Europe must be wanting in this young community. But we can sco around us trophies of a happy and a useful [.resent, the products of a free and industrious nnd a progressive nation. Harvest and husbandry, tho loom and wheel, and engineering sccrots of the ■uillen mino, steol and gold, and corn and wine, and may wo not, despite the great armies which burden civilised nations and the world, and despite tho war clouds which scarcely yet havo passed away, sco also somo reason to hope that tho aims and as pintions which prompted tho lato Prince Consort and those who with him planner) the great Exhibition of 1851, aro to some oxtcnt being fulfilled —that tho narrow barriers which divided nations and com muni'ies in former times are being slowly brokon down by religion, education, and enlightenment, and that we are gradually moving onwards to tho timo when

Each man sViill find his own in all men's good, And nil men work in noble brotherhood.

His Excellency then declared the Exhi bition opon.

Exhibition Building.

Tho following is a short description of the building ;—The main building has a frontage to Stout streot of about 250 feet, with an avorago depth of 125 feet. There has been no attempt mudo at any display of architecture, the builJing being constructed principally of galvanized iron, relieved by wooden pilasters, cornice, and canbilovers. Tho principal entrance is in the centre of the building, the door being 18 x 12 feet with a pediment, over which is placed an illuminated clock, the height to the top of the parapet is 30 feet, and to the apex of the pediment 48 feet. The building is covered by a series of lean to roofs, and lighted from the vertical wall of tho same. The lean-tos, which are 14 feet wide, are carried on storey-posts, rail way irons being used for this purpose, the height from the floor to the uudersido of the beams being 20 feet in the clear. The main corridor, leading from the principal entrance to the drill-shed is 21 feet wide and 3S feet high, and is lighted by a large lantern, the full length of the corridor. The remainder of the building is arranged around an open court-yard in tho form of a parallelogram, with lean-to lighted from the sidenextthecourt-yard. This has a frontage to Stout street of 233 feet, ami to Whitniore atreet of 148 feet, with an avorago height of 13 feet inside; the Stout-street elevation being finished with a cornice, canbilevers similar to the main building, but being only 21 feet in height to the top of the parapet. This gives a total frontage to Stout-street of 511 feet. An entrance door, 12 x 12 feet, for exhibits, has been provided in the Whit more-street elevation, and also an entrance from the courtyard into the building for the same purpose. The whole of the building in side is distempered a pale-blue tint, and the exterior woodwork painted in two shades of dark chocolate polour. Tho total amount of timber used in the building in superficial feet is about 260,000; galvanised iron is about 40 tons, railway iron is about 18 tons, glass 12,200 superficial feet. The main general entrance is from Stout-street, the door being only a few yards from Lambton Quay. On passing through the door and vo3tibule, entrance is at once obtained into the main ball, whore are placed tho largest proportion of the exhibits. Turning to tho right on entering, and followiug tho wall of the building, where space is devoted to iwoollen goods and to curios, elementary products are passed and a door on the right leads into St. Georgo's Ffall, which is incorporated with the Ex hibition building, with a stairway leading to the upper floor. The triangular space lying between the main and St. George's Hall is at present empty, but will probably be utilised for the home in dustry branch. The upper floor of St. George's Hall is devoted to works of art and printings, drawings, photographs, architectural designs, etc., etc., and tho lower to tho purposes of a refreshment and luncheon room. Tho preserved meats and like exhibits, and come of the clothing, aro also shown in this corner. Next comes the entrance to tho Drill-shed, which has been arranged for tho purpo?o of a concert hall, a capacious orchestra stand having been erected. This organ was manufactured by Jenkins, of Christ church, and besides being on exhibit is lent for usg at tho ceremonies in connection with the Exhibition. It is a handsome piece of work, and the musicians who have heard it admire its tone.

VISIT OF THE QUEEN OF RAROTONGA.

The long talked of visit of the Queen of Pvftrotonga to New Zealand will soon bo an accomplished fact, that august lady hav ing fully resolved upon taking the trip, in response to an invitation which she re ceived in writing from the Hon. Mr Stout, Premier of the colony. She in tends leaving for New Zealand in October or November next Makea Ariki (or chieftainess), of Awarua (called by courtesy "The Queen of JRaro tonga"), who is tho recipient of the in vitation, is the principal of the three hereditary rulers in the island. The other two are - Mere Paa (to whom Mr Albert plover, of Auckland, is related by marriage), anclTenuimana. The latter's namo, which signifies'" great authority," issingularly inapplicable^ tho presentchief tainess has but few subjects, and exercises but slight authority ovorthem. The groater importance of Makea arises from the fact that sho has jurisdiction over the port of Awarua, and over nearly all the European residents on the island. She is married to the King of Atiu, another island in the same group. It is not likely that he will accompany her on her visit to the colony ; but Tapou, a chief of "woight" and intelligence, and who speaks English fairly, will form her male eaeort; while several beautiful and substantial "maids of honour" will go with her, not bo much for .the purpose of waiting upon Hor Majesty, as of advertising the charms of the Karotonga ladios. It is not impro bable that Mr Henry Nicholas, an Anglo- Maori half-caste from Thames district, who is the leading planter on the island, and high in the Queen's favour, will also accom pany the party, and act as interpreter during tho New Zealand toui. The Queen, if not"fair,"canlayclaimtotheothertwo"f'e" in thoalliterativei phrase sometimes employed to describe a middle-aged lady "inclining to embonpoint." She is, to judge of her fea tures, possessed of considerable intelligence, firmness and decision of character; while among tho settlers on tho island she is credited with the possession of strong com mon sense, great moderation, and a lively sonee of justice. In ono respect only do they complain of hor, and thatis with regard to her aversion to sanction improvements, suchastheerection of a wharf, tramway,&c, which are much required for the prosecu tion of trade. The New Zealand com mercial delegates who lately visited the island took occasion to impress upon her the desirability of having such works carried out, and no doubt what sho will see in New Zealand will do much to con vinco her of tho benefits accruing thero from,

ATT EMPT ED MURDER.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE IN

FREEMAN'S BAY.

Ox Saturday, July '25, an assault of a most brutal character was committed by William iienry Wakoham, cordial manu facturor, on his wife, at their dwelling house in Dock - streot, Freeman's Bay. Wakeham entered tho guard room of tho Police Station shortly bcforG live o'clock in a state of great excitement, and said ho had come to give him-tlf up. lie had murdered his wife. Pending further de velopments, Constable MxConnpll tool: tho man into custody, while Sergeant Kioly prococdod to ascortnin the truth or other wise of tho startling self accusation, 110 proceeded to Wakehatn's houso in Free man's Kay, where lie found tho woman lying in a pool of blood in the back yard, Several horrible wounds were obsorvable on her head, and close to hor was an axe, on which woro somo blood stains. Constable Bernard, the district pokceman, was in attendance upon tho woman. Considerable dilliculty was experienced in obtaining tho services of a medical man, but eventually Dr. Lewis was found, and hastened to tho scc:o of tho occurrence. His examination showed that the woman's head was frac tured, that thoro was a lacerated wound behind tho right ear, and two other scalp wounds, oviilently caused by a second and third blow from tho axe. The wounds having boon bandaged, tho woman was placea in Koonan'tt express and taken to tho Hospital. She did not recovercotiS.-iousnoss t.ll Sunday afternoon, and very slight, hups of her recovery were then entertained. Meanwhile Wakolmm was pacing about flic police station in an apparently excited stato, but it was not dillioult to sco that much of the omotion was either nsmtned or exaggerated. His explanation of tho affair, which ho voluntarily gave to our representative, was that his wifo wanted him to supply hor with money, but ho refused. Sho then took up an axe and threatened him with it. lie seized the handle with the ob ject of taking tho weapon from hor, whoYi the blow fell upon her head. If this state ment were true, it would only account for ono bloiv, whilo tho medical examination showed that threo hud been struck. Quito a different version of tho occur rence is given by the oldest child, Elizaboth Wakeham, aged eight yours. Sho says that when her father catno in ho lay down on tho bod. Hor mother asked him for sonio money, with which to got moat for tea, but ho refused to give it. Tho mother then told the child to borrow it from Mrs Kane, a neighbour, and although he at first demurred to this, consequently consented. Che child borrowed two shillings from Mrs Kane, and returning homo gavo it to her mother. Wakeham tried to get possession of it, and a struggle ensued. Tho man pushed his wife down tho steps, and in fall ing sho dropped tho money, which ho picked up. Thechild asserts that her father then took tho axe, which was standing by the well, and tvhon "bis wife strovo to rise, ho pushed her down again, sat on her chest, and struck her several times on tho head with Uia blunt side of the axe. The woman nnd ono of the little ones cried out, "Don't, Papa," and tho littlo girl asked him what he did that for. Ho meroly replied that ho could not help it, and ran out into tho street. As ho passed the next houso, ono of tho neighbours heard him say, "I havo murdered her at last." The cries of the children collected a large crowd, and police assistance was sent for. Wakeham nnd his wife aro said to havo both boon the worse for liquor on Saturday.

The Wakehams will bo remembered as having taken a prominent part in tho ease some time ago, in which Kosina Emily Smith was charged with infanticide. They wore married at Makatu, EaatCaast, oleven years agOj and luvo lived unhappily. Wakehara was formerly a warder over tho native prisoners in Mount Cook, Welling ton, and subsequently at Chrisachurch and Dunodin. He was twioo tho subject of protection ordors under t&o Licensing Act at tho Thames. A short timo ago Mrs Wakeham was ordered to find eurities to keep the peace for threatening hor neigh bour, and could only find a guaranteo after she had ssrvod a month in prison. Mrs Wakoham is slowly recovering from her serious injuries.

WRECK OF THE RATE MAC GREGOR.

Hull and Cargo Sold for £02.—Insur ances, £1,600. By the arrival of the Island mail stoamor Janet Nicoll, wo loam of tho total loss of tho Auckland schoonor Kate Macgregor in the harbour of Awarua, Ilarotonga. The unfortunate occurrence took placo on Thursday, 23rd July last, at the time tho Janet Nicoll was taking; in cargo at Baro tonga. To understand (In position, it should bo explained that at Awarua there are two fearbour?, both exceedingly small, about hal t mile apart. In ono of theso, that to tho xei*:ir »rd, tho Janet Nicoll was moored, while in 15*; > tho schotuiors Atlantic and Kato Mis^regor, both belong ing to Messrs Donald and R'donborough, were taking in cargo for transhipment to tho steamor. On Wednesday, tho day aftor tho arrival of tho Janet Nicoll, tho Atlantic was moved round to tho western harbour and brought alongside tho steamer, and a quantity of cotton-seed was transferred to the hold of tho lattor. It was next resolved to move tho Kato Macgregor and placo part of hor cargo, embracing 70 tons of arrowroot and a largo quantity of copra, on board tho etoamor; but a change in tho direction of tho wind lud made this an arduous undertaking—a steady breezo blowing jtraignt in shore. How over, Captain Schulz, the pilot, after con sultation, resolved to mako the attempt of towing tho schooner out with nativo boats and hoisting sail whon clear of tho reof. This, from the circumstances, was a per fectly Hafe course, and accordingly a number of nativo boats had lines attached and slowly pulled tho schooner through tho opening in tho reef. Just as the reof was cleired and tho sail sot, tho wind suddenly shifted four points, blow the sail aback, and drove the vessel back just within the harbour and on to the reef, the nativo tow ing-boats being powerkss to prevent tho catastrophe,

The whole thing was the work of a very short time—tho veering of the wind, tho driving back of the schooner into the narrow ontrance, and hor striking on the hard coral reef. It was at onco seen that thoro was no hope of getting her off, and steps were immediately taken to save tho cargo. After the arrowroot had been got ashore—most of it being wetted in tho process—the waves began to break over tho stranded vessel, she bumped severely, nnd water began to pour into tho hold from a large hole in her bottom. By noon it was considered unsafe to remain on tho vessel, and all the crew and their clothing, &c, Mere safely landed in boats, Captain Schnlz being tho last to leave the schooner. As tho tide rose, the waves broke with greater violence, making clean breaches over the dock, whiie the Kato Macgregor rocked and bumped violently, hor masts being in momentary danger of going by tho board. It was resolved by Captain Schulz, Wiho acted on behalf of the in surance companies, that the boat step for him to take was to abandon Hie vessel and sell her by auction and at half-past ono in the afternoon the sale took place, the Captain acting as auctioneer. After brief but spirited bid ding, tho wreck' was knocked down to Mr Henry Nicholas—the hull for £64, and tho cargo for £28.

The purchaser immediately set a crowd of Kanakas to work at taking out the cargo, dismantling tho vessel and getting tho parts ashore, and the ebbing tide having left the schooner much steadier, a good deal was accomplished beforedark. Next day (Fri day), amid a steady drizzling rain, the work was continued, and by the time the Janet Nicoll left on Saturday afternoon little more of the Kate Magregorthan the hull and two bare masts remained on tho reef. Tho wind had now changed to the southward, and tho wreck was lying at rest, so it was considereel the purchaser would make good salvage of the lot.

The Kate Macgrogor was an Auckland built schooner of 05 tons, and was eleven years old —having been launchod from Bigelow's yard in 1874. That sho was most faithfully built was evidenced by "the way in which she withstood tho tremendous bumping she got on the reef, which, in the opinion of several mariners on the spot, would have broken up mast vossols of her size. Sho was insured for £SOO in tho New Zealand Insurance Company, and there was a floating policy over her cargo to the extent of £800 in the same office.
