PEOPLES DAY. . TORTHER AWARDS. Favored l>y perfect weather there was a very large attendance at tie Wanganul racecourse on the occasion of People's Day at the Wanganui A. and P. Society's Show on Thursday, and general appreciation was expressed at the excellence of the exhibits. The arrangements, particularly of the cattle stalls, could he Improved, but It must ho remembered that the Tacecourse was not designed for the purposes of u show, and. moreover," the entries greatly exceeded expectations. /Under the circumstances, tincommittee con. be '■ congratulated on the arrangements. • i Kext year It is hoped to rave the show housed' in the Association's new ground at Wanganul East, and an active canvass is being made to raise the £IO,OOO necessary to provide the ! buildings and apappointments, for which a-; comprehensive plan has been prepared. The fat bullocks were the centre of attraction in the fat pens, particular attention being paid to a bullock weighing 3C4oibs. exhibited by 0. F. Moore, of Kal Iwl, and adjudged third. A beast exhibited by Mv. A. T. Wills, of Hawera, though probably not as heavy, showed much better quality. In the ring, judging of the horse sections was proceeded with brisSy, and though a considerable number of classes are left for the second day, all was completed before the time set down for the parade, which was at 3 p.m. As this is considered late It Is proposed to alter the time next year to 2 p.m., thus enabling passengers by the north mall train to view the parade before having to leave the ground. The interest of the casual spectator in ti:e parade Is much enhanced by the issue of a card showing the order of procession. In draught,horses, Mr. E. A.
