[Extract from New Zealand Gazette of Jan. 2, 1885.]

New Zealand Industrial Exhibition, 1885.

Prize Essays.

One gold medal and twenty guineas, one silver medal and ten guineas, and one bronze medal and five guineas will be awarded for essays on the present condition and future prospects of the industrial resources of New Zealand, and the best means of fostering their development.

In judging of the merits of the essays preference will be given to those which are of a practical character, rather than to mere abstract or theoretical disquisitions. The essays must be sent in to the Secretary of the Exhibition, signed with a motto and accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the author's name and address, on or before the 1st day of December, 1885. This late date is fixed to enable the essayists, if they desire to do so, to utilize the information which the Exhibition itself will supply.

The essays will be submitted to a Board of three persons, to be hereafter appointed, on whose decision respecting the merits of the essays the above prizes will be awarded; provided the essays reach a sufficiently-deserving standard of excellence.
