' _ ' The resolution which was thus carried was moved by Mr. Merrick (for Eketahuna) and seconded'by Mr. Wliyte (for Wellington).;. Efleot of the Decisions. Mr. Goodson thanked the proxies for having attended to vote .as requested by,-.tho various societies they represented. He was pleased that the resolution had been carried by such a big vote, although by its action he expected the Association would _ offend some of the societies affiliated with it, .but they would be few. The majority, he was sure, would endorse tho action of the Association. Rule 10 of the Association's rules had been reinstated, and > it provided .that any A. and P. Association could apply 'for a license to hold a poultry show during any month of tho year. He considered,, that the affairs of tho Association would in future run on smooth lines, and to the benefit and satisfaction of all concerned. The decision is tactful, sportsmanlike, and calculated to win respect.
