They also have a side show—"Make the Kaiser Growl," whilst there is a small side show for patriotic purposes. A feature of the show is the catering arrangements, which are under the control of: the society, in a commodious tea room adjoining the dairy produce. Here, during the afternoon, a fine programme of music was dispensed by Mr. Higham's orchestra. The challenge shield (value, £lO 10s) presented by Messrs.
