WANGANUI SHOW.

PEOPLE’S DAY. JL LARGE ATTENDANCE. i Drizzling rain fell at Wanganui early yesterday morning, but this soon cleared, and was followed by a warm, sunny day, so that there was a very large attendance for People's Day at the Wanganui Show. The scene was a very animated one, particularly during the grand parade, which was marshalled by Mr. J. T. Sinclair. The judging of the remaining classes was completed early. Considerable interest was manifested in the ring events, iu which Taranaki again scored freely. During the afternoon the Queen Alexandra Band, under Lieut. Buckley, rendered a fine programme of music. There was a large number of side-shows, many of which were very interesting. Among those present at the show were Messrs. Washer (president of the Egmont A. and P. Show) and E. H. Liunell (of the Stratford A. and P. Show executive). Mr. C. H. Washer (Hawera) acted as judge of the light horse classes and jumping competition, whilst Mr. F. Mills acted in a similar capacity in the Ayrshires. Additional results: HORSES. THOROUGHBRED.
