OUR WINTER SHOW.

'ln the Editor. Sir, —If 1 may bo allowed to trespass on your space, permit me to make a few suggestions to the settlers throughout the district in reference tq the winter show to be held in the Drill Hall, Xew Plymouth, and uuder canvas on the space adjoining, on 81 h. Ot,h, 10th, and lltli June. As schedules have aireadv been issued through the weekly and both daily papers, there should be one in nearly every home in the district. The committee is working hard, the tradespeople and merchants are subscribing liberally to the prize fund, and all details are well in lian4 My suggestions are these: Every settler should keep the schedule on the wall in the living-room, so that all the family can sec it and study it. Farmers, look round your farm and see if you cannot find some one or more items of produce fit to compete at the show. Housewives, look through the dairy, the pantry, and the larder, and try to find some article of your own production that is good enough to beat Mrs. So-and-so's. You boys and girls, use all your spare evenings during the next live weeks, and make sgiue article (useful or ornamental) and bring it along to the show. There will be lots of prizes, and if each family shows one or more articles we shall have a show worthy of Taranaki and worth coming lo see. The show is to he a representation of what Taranaki can produce, to be turned out in Tnranaki's very best style, and to be visited by Taranaki's population as well as large numbers of visitors from other provinces. As president, of the Taranaki Agricultural Society I appeal to the patriotism of every Taranaki settler to help to make the winter show a credit !o tlie province and an education to the boys and girls who will be the future settlers. Our motto: We will all do I something—l am, etc., W. AMBURY.
