FIXED ROYAL SHOW

WELLINGTON’S SUGGESTION DISCUSSION AT CONFERENCE Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. ! Considerable discussion ensued at. ! the annual meeting of the Royal Agri- ! cultural Society yesterday on the recommendation of a special committee, formed to report to the council on an offer by the Wellington Winter Show Association to run the Royal Show regularly each year. The committee recommended that the offer be accepted. The terms were that the Wellington Association would pay the Royal Agricultural Society a sum of £5,000, and that the Wellington Association would take all the proceeds, while the Royal Society would pay all the expenses. Instead of adopting the report and recommendation, the meeting merely received them. The opposition to the suggestion of centralisation at Wellington was strong from the delegates from both islands. It was not considered possible to carry out the main provision of the Royal Show, namely, to get exhibits representative of the stock of both islands. The general feeling was that the Royal Show should be movable, as at present. ANTWERP WOOL SALES (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9 a.m. ANTWERP, Wed.
