THE PALMERSTON NORTH SHOW.

By Telegraph—: Press Association. PALMERSTON N., October 28. People are thronging into Palmerston by every train in anticipation of the Manawatu A. and P. Association's Show, which will open on Wednesday, and promises to eclipse all previous records. There is a very strong desire expressed on all hands that Parliament should be adjourned over Thursday to enable the Premier, Leader of the Opposition, and members to visit the Show, where the assemblage will be representative of all the North Island and much of the South Island will be gathered. This course, kiggested by the Manawatu Times, is being strongly endorsed by local feeling. The exhibits are being set out in various sections, and judging has already been begun. The art and technical sections are particularly strong, and the display by the technical schools is claimed to bebthe finest yet made at any such Show in the dominion, and a revelation of what is being done in our schools. The technical, art and photographic sections occupy a wall frontage of 610 lineal feet, and fill the lecture hall and a large space in the great industrial shed. Judging in these sections is proceeding. Mr W. Bowring, who acted as judge at the New Zealand International Exhibition technical school department, is acting in a similar capacity at the Palmerston Show. The judges of the needlework (Mrs Hamilton, Wellington), and photography (Mr F. Denton, Wanganui), have arrived, and will commence work on Tuesday.
