Exhibition, to be held in the Agricul-

four vocal competitions, two pianoforte
contests—one professional and one amateur
—one organ, one brass band, and one choral
competition. The last named is an addi-
tion to the ordinary contests of 'last year.
The five sets of prizes will amount to $600.
Dr. Bridge will act as adjudicator. The
judges in the other contests will be Messrs.
Tito Mattei, Gustav Garcia, Li Calsi, L.
Denza, Warwick Williams, Turpin, and
others. The pt-rizes in the aggregate for
all contests amount to upwards of $5,000,
which will be supp emented by further
awards to winners in the band contests by
Messrs. Besson & Co., Lim., Rudall Carte
& Co., Higharn & Co. and Mallett, Porter
& Dowd.
