NEW PLYMOUTH WINTER SHOW.

The Taranaki Metropolitan Agricultural Society's big winter fixture seems to be attracting a great deal more than ordinary attention this year. It may possibly be on account of the wonderful display promised by the Government Agricultural Department, or it may be that this successful winter function is becoming more popular each year. In any case, it is assured by the numerous inquiries for space and schedules that the large Coronation Hall with its two annexes will bo full to overflowing during June 10th to 13th, and New Plymouth will be very busy. The dairy produce classes, for which the entries have closed, have drawn a record number of competitors, and will be a show worth seeing. The side-shows and working exhibits will be more numerous than ever this year, and will include some of the star attraction? from the Auckland Exhibition. A attraction for those who like a speculation in a small way will bo the raffle for the £SO gold nugget, for which the special permission of the Hon. the Minister of Internal Affairs has been obtained. The schedule has been completely revised and is now on a very extensive scale, providing competitions for one and all. Altogether the show gives promise of being the best ever held in the district.
