Whitehead's picture gallery has been one of the attractions of the Show week. His collection contains high-class specimens of the art both in portraits and landscapes.

Mr H. N. Whitehead announces in another column that he has just started as a photographer in this town, in the premises between the Bank of New Zealand and the Red House, in Main-street. Mr Whitehead's long experience with his brother at Hastings in the Hawke's Bay district, should be a sufficient guarantee that the work executed by him will be of a first-class character, and we are satisfied from specimens seen that he is sure to please his patrons. Mr Whitehead makes a specialty of family groups, and undertakes to take his camera to any part of the district free of charge.
