Owing to tho large number of entries cattle and sJie-ep stewards are all required to be on the show groundsr at 6 a m. each day. Everything promises well for the success of the Egmont A. and P. Association's show on Wednesday and Thursday next. As shown by the figures published above, the entries are far ahead of last year's.
