PALMERSTON SHOW

\ 'Advices' from _ Palmerßton' North slate that the indications for a successful show are good. Live stock and competition entries are now being dealt .with. As is usual, the cattle display, for which this show is noted, is to be a feature. , The commissioning of tlio handsome cattle pavilion erected last year lias proved an attraction to cattlebreeders, and the entries now coming forwara show how much the protection, of the animals is appreciated by their owners. The other divisions are till-' ing up well, notwithstanding the increasing 'scarcity of labour, owing to the constant drain on. the young manhood of the. Dominion: It is anticipated that the jumping events 1 wjll bo quite up to-the usual standard. Popii-\| larity, combined with education, is the keynote'of success in these exhibitions, and this year's function is not likely to be behind its notable predeces. «ors except in the date.

For city: enthusiasts and. supporters the Railway Department is putting on a special train from Thorndon station on Friday, November 3, 1 which is People's Day in Palmerston North. The running of this train will allow patrons to.go to and from tho shoiv an one day, and that in comfort.

Complaint has been made that, travellers have ■ had to stand in crowded trains on ; tho return journey after a tiring day. ~ This will now be. obviated, and it is hoped that a. very large number from Wellington, will avail themselves of the chance to visit tho big show. . ■ , ■
