CONDUCT OF ROYAL SHOWS
CHANGES SUGGESTED QUESTION OF CONTROL (From Our Resident Reporter.') WELLINGTON, To-day. Questions regarding the control of the Royal Show will be decided when the council of the Royal Agricultural Society meets in Wellington next week. It is considered likely that an important change of policy will be made. The questions to be decided are whether the Royal Show, which is to be held at Palmerston North next time, shall be held in the spring or in the autumn, and whether the Royal Agricultural Society will run its own show instead of allowing it to be run in conjunction with the local agricultural and pastoral show. It is believed that most of the breeders’ societies favour the innovation, while the agricultural and pastoral societies are fairly evenly divided. If the council decides to conduct the Royal Show itself in future, it will initiate annual sales of pedigree stock as a special feature, in order to give more encouragement to breeders. If a spring show is decided upon, it will probably be held in November; and if an autumn show, in January or February of next year, in which event the seasonal change would mean that there would be no Royal Show in the year 1928.
