RIVAL SHOWS.
MANAWATU AND CANTER-
BURY.
A COMPARISON.
(BPKCIAU.X. WBITTEK TOB "THE PSESS. ') . (By "Marama.")
For many years there has been considerable rivalry between the Manawatu and Canterbury A. and P. Shows, which are generally recognised as being the two principal metropolitan fixtures in the Dominion. About twenty years ago many South" Islanders' who visited the northern Show came, back with the emphatic opinion that the southerners had a very serious rival in this exhibition, which would in time actually surpass the Canterbury fixture. For some reason, however, the Manawatu Show did not improve to the extent predicted, and for a time, actually went back, but recently a decided improvement has been noticeable, and.the efforts which have been made to restore-its prestige have at last, borne ■ fruit, with the result that, from the point of view of a stock exhi-. bition, the. first Royal Show, which was held at Palmerston North last month, was a pronounced success.
