DOMINION DAIRY SHOW

OPENING TO-DAY. Everything is in readiness for the official opening of the ninth Dominion Dairy Show at 2 p.m. to-day_by the Hon. W. D. S. Mac Donald, Minister of Agriculture, in the fine show 'buildings at !i;iwera. Indications are that this year's show will prove even more guethan its predecessors. All available space has been taken up, although tlio committee have added an additional commodious hall in concrete, thus giving a s much space as was available last year, though one hall then in use, which was particularly useful to the "dairying community at present, was full of cheese in store. The new hall will also be available, if necessary, for that purpose. Mr. L. O. Hooker, manager and secretary of the show, has had a busy time making the necessary arrangements, and with his large staff getting things in trim for to-day, and the result is a further tribute to his organising ability.

SCHOOLS SECTION. WEST END WIN® TWO SHTHLDSIn the competition classes there are record entries. The schools' section Is this year a very marked feature of the show, and has drawn 1225 entries, schools from all over Taranaki entering freely, whilst Wanganui, Wellington, and the Main Trunk district are also represented.
