SUPERVISING DISPLAY

HARD-WORKED STEWARDS

One of the most important parts of Show work devolves upon the stewards, and a small army of them was at work on the ground early this morning making preparations for the display of the exhibits. Later on, when all was ready for the judges, they had still a great deal of work to do in assisting their judges and in recording the results. Because of the record entry in this year’s Show, the stewards had a great deal of additional work to get through, and the efficiency with which they carried out their part is demonstrated in the celerity with which the results were made available.
