The Hawaiian gazette., 1877-01-17
Australian Exposition.

INFORMATION has been received that an
inter-colonial exhibition will be held at sgd
ney in April next The Secretary of the As
sociation, Mr. Jules Joubert, having addressed a
letter to DR.. G. Trousseau, inviting contribu-
tons from these islands, the latter gentle
man has laid this invitation before the Ha-
waiian Government in two letters, one
addressed to the late and one to the present
administration. His Elk. H. A. P. Carter,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has addressed the
President of the Chamber of Commerce on the
subject, inviting the cooperation of that body,
and enclosing portions of DR.. Trousseau's letter.
These we insert below.
The Chamber of Commerce, at its meeting
on Wednesday last, appointed committee of
three, Messrs. W. L. Green, P. G. Jones, and
j. c. Glade, to take the matter in hand and
make such arrangements they may deem
necessary. The Committee has already ad-
dressed letters to various planters and agri-
culturists, inviting them to contribute such
articles as they may be able to get ready for
the exhibition, and it is to be hoped that the
Committee will be prepared to make display
which will be creditable to our group.
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Honolulu, January 9th 1877.
To the Hon s. N. CASTLE President of the Homo
lulu Chamber of Commerce.
SIR:-This Department is in receipt of communi-
cations from DR.. q. Trousseau regarding an Inter
Colonial Exhibition to be opened in April at sgd
ney, n. s. W.
1 enclose copies of the parts of DR.. Trousseau's
communications which relate TO the Exhibition.
1t seemed to me that at no place could our pro-
ducts be exhibited with better chance OF attracting
attention aud leading TO good results than at sgd
ney, where many adventurous young men, who
seeking for places and opportunities to settle,
sure 10 be gathered together, but upon examining
the prospectuses saw no intimation that exhibits
from foreign countries would be welcome, and
no official notification had reached this Department
did not feel that His Majesty's Government could
officially invite exhibits to be made under its di-
rection. In view however Of the advantages likely
TO ensue from such exhibits wrote DR.. Trousseau,
that If could be assured that such would be
welcomed by the authorities in charge of the exhi-
bitioD, would lay the matter before the Chamber
of Commerce and would personally cooperate
with the Chamber If 1t thought best to invite con-
tributions of produce for exhibition.
We need men of enterprise and some means to
take up the lands of Hamakua, Kau, Kona and
others, and raise coffee, sugar and wool. The ad-
vantages offered by Mr.. Hutchinson at kau and the
Hawaiian Agricultural Company at Kapapala, and
at Prncevle, Kauai are very great and think only
want setting forth with attractive exhibit of what
be raised and statements OF the profits of such
industries TO induce the immigration of some such
to the advantage not only of the estates directly
interested but of the community at large
In Dr. Trousseau's second letter, you will observe
what he says Of the assurances he has that such
hibits will be welcome, and If the Chamber deem it
best to invite exhibits and arrange for their trans
mission His Majesty's Government will cooperate
SO far as they properly can
1 trust at least that some of our public spirited
planters and property holders will avail themselves
OF this opportunity to bring into notice the advan-
tages they can offer immigrants
have TO ask you Sir TO bring this matter before
the Chamber OF Commerce for their consideration |
this please receive package of |
Schedules and advertisements.
/ have the honor to remain
Your o5edient Servant
HENRY A. P. CARTER
