WINTER SHOW.

hi This big fixture is now being the chief 1" topic of conversation both in town and 0 country, and from present indications it C will be the greatest exhibition ever seen si in this district. Report says that the M Covernmcnt, with its 1000 ft. of space, T \ will make a display which will be, both fe ; interesting and instructive, far surpassing the display made here some years M , ago. Applications for space are being ;f received from outside firms by every mail, nor are the local tradespeople backward in this despect, as it will be j-j found that they will occupy a fair pro- , portion of the thousand feet that are ' } offered. ("J re at interest is being taken in K ' I the many classes that are oll'ered for 1" I competition, and scores of schedules are (1 | being posted to different parts of New Zealand every day. i' "■ Entries for all classes are already hj; I being received, although the time of t.i closing' is not until Saturday, 30tli inst. S( This should be a good indication of 0 , large exhibits in every class. In the Home Industry Class, Mr. J. H. Street's a, £5 os silver cup is again offered for s( competition, and should draw large en- m tries for the particular class for which ' m it is offered. In this section Mrs. H. IT. ' .Street offers a points prize for girls w under IS years. A new trophy, in the Way of a. silver cup, has been presented this year by !, Mr. G. \Y. lfrowne for the best collection , of farm produce grown on one farm, * and it is understood that there will be t: a big clas-. so. that last year's winner will ,"" have to l"ok to his laurels, i n It is iinde.rst.ood that the same two , rivals will meet in (he district competi- : '-' tion (which, by the way, has always . a been a feature of the show), both with n the determination to win, so that the b public will have something to look for- ii ward to in this particular clasn.
