TARANAKI WINTER SHOW.

Preparations are being made to ensure the coming fixture being the most successful held under the auspices of the Society. A splendid design has been prepared for the laying out of the hall and annexes, provision being made to bring all'the root crops into the main hall and place all exhibits on tables, which will have raised cetrcs. A band stand will be placed in the centre of the main building, and a first-class programme of music will be rendered every evening of the show, as well as on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The first annexe will be used as a machinery hall, and the poultry and side shows have been allotted the second annexe. This arrangement should be a decided improvement, and will no doubt be much appreciated both by the exhibitors and the public.' This year's schedule has been completely revised, and the prize money in nearly all the classes increased, so that the inducement for intending exhibitors, is far greater than on previous occasions, a feet which should draw record entries. ' The dairy produce entries, which closed some time ago, are far in excess of those received for any previous show, Tiiey are: Butter SO, cheese 88. The acceptances for the field acreage competitions are also good. General entries close on Saturday, 27th inst., but it will facilitate the work of the office, and will be much appreciated by the secretary, if intending exhibitors will forward their entries before'that date. Schedules on application.
