AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

j AUTUMN SHOW. The executive committee of the Taranaki Agricultural Scsjicty is sparing no effort to make the forthcoming Show a greater success than any previous show, and both patrons and exhibitors can depend on everything being done for their comfort and convenience. Provision is being made for the careful handling of all stock, and. an abundanre of fodder will be provided, so that with the warm weather.we should get in February ex-hibitors-need feel no anxiety on account of their animals. The fact that numerous applications arc being made for schedules from all over the North Island has suggested to the committee the advisability of providing extra pens. All trains conveying stock to the Show will be met by members of a specially appointed committee. Competitors in the jumping events will also be rendered every possible assistance, and as entries in these classes are increasing each year it has become necessary to ■ add to the committee in charge of the section. The prize list for both days is very generous, and entries are confidently expected to far exceed previous shows. Exhibitors who cannot get to the Show themselves, but who would like to send exhibits of stock, are advised that the Society is prepared to meet the animals at the New Plymouth Station and convey them to suitable paddocks, and thence to the Show Ground. After the Show, the animals will be consigned back to the owner. Exhibitors forwarding stock are reminded 4a send the necessary railway certificates, so as to get the freight rebate. Entries close on the 13th February, and schedules may be obtained from the Secretary, Mr A. L. Humphries, P.O. Box 19, New Plymouth.
