HUGH MUNRO HULL, Secretary. REPORT of the CoMMISSIONERS .appointed on the '19th March, 1866, to carry out the necessary Arrangements to enable the Colony C!f Tasmania to tahe due part in aid of the lntercolonial Exhibition of Australia, to be held in Melbourne in 1866.

To His Excellency Colonel THOMAS GORE BROWNE, C.B., Governor-in-Chief of Tasmania.

,MAY IT"PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY. HAVING completed the duty which Yo~r Exc~llency was pleased to assign to them, the Commissioners have now the honor to :eport the result of their labours.· They lost no time in making .the object of their appointment known to the public through the press, and by circulars addressed to the principal agriculturists, wool-growers, and manufacturers throughout the Colony, earnestly i,nviting their co-operation in the work that they had undertaken. These appeals were at first but slowly and partially responded to, and the prospect of making a creditable appearance at the forthcoming Exhibition was not encouraging. After the lapse of a few weeks, however, a warmer interest in the undertaking was excited in the community, and offers of assistance began to flow in from all quarters, which ultimately enabled· the Commissioners to furnish their Court with exhibits in such numbers and of such quality as to secure for this -Colony a prominent place among the numerous competitors·for distinction at the Intercolonial Exhibition, where Tasmania was -surpassed only by the large and wealthy Colony of Victoria.- The Commissioners believe that the Exhibition in which the Colony thus took so creditable a part cannot fail to have a beneficial influence on its material interests, and to create an increased demand for many of its manufactures and products, some of which have long been in high repute in the adjoining Colonies, whilst others have for the first time been submitted to inspection. ! • The subjoineu list, in which the names of the Exhibitors, the Articles exhibited, and . the Medals and Certificates of Honorable Mention awarded to them are clearly set forth, leaves little room for,special comment on the part of the Commissioners. The exhibition of Grain, which must always ret~in a first place among Tasmanian p;oducts, was extensive and varied, and obtained high commendation, wiLh a large number of medals and certificates of ~erit. _ To Ale brewed by two long-es_tablished firms in this city the first place was assigned, and the produce of other manufactories was greatly commended. There can be no doubt that the manufacture of Malt Liquors admits of almost indefinite expansion; and in the coolness of the climate the brewers of this Colony possess a great advantage over those of the Continent of Australia, where Tasmanian Ale is already in great demand, and where, if the existing restrictions on Inte,rcolonial trade were removed, an almost unlimited market would be found. _ , The Hops grown in Tasmania are greatly esteemed and extensively used in the adjoining Colonies, where they now command a price equal to that of the best sorts imported froni England, , The culture of this plant is being largely and rapidly extended, and its produce has already become an important article of export.* '

• Hops were exported to the extent of 79,885 pounds, valued at £6030, in 1866. 8

No articles were more admired than the Cabinet and ornamental Woods from this Colony, of which many. excellent specimens appeareq in the Exhibition; for the largest assortment of which the Commissioners are indebted ~o Mr. Boyd, the Civil Commandant of Port Arthur, who, with the sanction of the Government, spared no exertion to render the Exhibition successful. Of these woods the Blackwood has for some years been in great demand by the cabinet and billiard-table makers of Melbourne. · ' Two magnificent tables manufactured from this wood appeared in the Exhibition, and were greatly admired. Of Tasmanian Jams, which have long been in request in the Australian Colonies, the Com­ missioners were enabled to forward a large assortment to the Exhibition. The manufacture of this article has greatly increased during the last few years, and now occupies an important place among the export;; oft4e Colony.* Some excellent specimens of Oils distilled from the Blue Gum and several other Tasmanian plants were forwarded to the Exhibition.

There is reason to expect that· some of these oils will yet be usefully employed in various manufactures; and if that hope should be realised, the demand could be supplied to an unlimited extent from this Island.

Several Medicinal compounds, admirably prepared by a chemist of this City, appeared in the Exhibition, and were regarded as fully equal to the same preparations imported from England, which they can hardly fail to supersede.

It is scarcely necessary to allude to the numerous and excellent specimens of the Building Stones of the Colony, the value of which have long been established.

A reference to the list of awards will show the appreciation in which they were l10ld at the Exhibition.

The Commissioners much regret that the period of the year at which they commenced their "'ork, and at which the Exhibition was held in Melbourne, almost entirely precluded them from obtaining, specimens of the Wools of the Colony, which, from the high character of many of its flocks, could not have failed to have been a striking and successful feature of the Tasmanian Court, and to have received many testimonials of its well-known high quality and value.

Many of the articles exhibited, for which neither medals nor certificates were awarded, were yet of high merit, and added greatly to the attractions of the Tasmanian Court.

It will be seen from the annexed statement (page I 0) that the amount expended by the Com­ missioners has exceeded the sum placed at their disposal by the Government fo1· the purposes of the Exhibition. The deficiency has been met by the unexpended balance c;:,f the sum appropriated to the Paris Exhibition, in which the Commissioners made an earnest attempt to take a part on behalf of this Colony, but which they found to be impracticable, and, with the consent of the Government, early, and they think wisely, abandoned. .

They believe, at the same time, that they have performed the task assigned to them with all possible regard to economy; and they have the satisfaction of pointing to the fact that, while the Articles provided by them for the late Exhibition were more numerous and varied than on any former occasion of the same kind, the cost to the Public Treasury has been very much less.·r

The smallness of the expenditure is mainly due to the public spirit of the Colonists, who with some trifling exceptions sent their Contributions for Exhibition on their own accom1t; thus enabling the Commissioners to avoid the great expense in which the purchase of any considerable number of Exhibits would have involved them.

The Commissioners -are much indebted to Messrs. Lewis and· Walker, two of their number, who proceeded to Melbourne and bestowed much time and labour in arranging the Exhibits, and placing them in the most effective manner before the public. ·· · - ·

The cost of the enterprise was further, and to no inconsiderable extent, reduced by the liberality of the Directors of the Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company, by whom the goods for exhibitioµ were conveyed to Melbourne ~y their steapiers at half the usual rate of freight ; and of Robert Walker, Esquire, who granted to the ComlI\issioners the free use of his large store in Hampden Road. ,

On the closing of the Exhibition a large portion of the Exhibits were liberally ·pres1;1nted by their owners through the Commissioners to various Public Institutions in Victoria, and others, the property of the Commissioners as representing the Government of this Colony, were disposed of in like manner. , _. . , . _ ' -

The Articles thus distriquted, the names of their owners, and the Institutions to which they were presented, are shown in the Appendix A. The Office of Agents for the Commission in Melbourne was performed by Messrs. B. B. Nicholson & Co. and Mr. Alfred Wilkins,-and that of Secretary to the Tasmanian Court, by Mr. W. H. Evans, in the most ,satisfactory manner; and the thanks of the Commissioners are due to these gentlemen for the great-interest which they displayed in the work committed Lo them. The Commissioners have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the very zealous and efficient. manner in which the duties of Secretary to the Commission have been discharged by Mr. Hngh Munro Hull, to whose exertions a large share ofthe success of the Exhibition is due. Given under our hands and seals, at Hobart Town, this first day of October, 1867.
