OTAGO A. AND P. SOCIETY.

DATE OF SUMMER SHOW. At the last monthly meeting of the commit lee of the Otago A. and P. Society a request was received from Oamam that the society alter the usual dates for the Summer Show and hol'd it on the two days following the opening of the Exhibition. A conference was held yesterday afternoon between representatives from the Exhibition and the society, when the whole matter was fully discussed. Mr A. Barnett, on behalf of the Exhibition directors, expressed the opinion that it would not be in the interests of tho Exhibition or (he society that the Summer Show should be hold during the first week of the Exhibition. The directors had already arranged for many special attractions extending over some time, and he urged the society to postpone the date as long as possible. After those present had expressed their views a recommendation was made that, the next Summer Show should bo bold in February. The President (Mr George Black) pointed cut that the February dates had been tried in previous years end the committee had reverted to the November dates, but as tho society was anxious 1 to work in with the Exhibition authorities, the whole matter would be considered at the next monthly meeting. The whole question rested mainly on the exhibitors, and as the proposal was an important one it would most likely'bo held over for flu. annual general meeting to he hold on June 2, when exhibitors and breeders would have an opportunity of expressing their opnion and coming to a final decision.
