MANAWATU A. & P. SHOW.
Judging from the entr.es received for the forthcoming Metropolitan Agricultural Show and Industrial Exhibition of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association, there will be a very large display in all departments which will sufficiently maintain the prestige and excellency of the show. The programme of the show can be summarised as follows: —Wednesday, November 3rd: A number of the pony classes and harness horses are judged, besides competitions in the Show ring, the principal of these being the Maiden Hunters' Competition in which there are 35 horses. The pigs and poultry are also judged on the first day. The art, industrial public schools, needlework and home industries,) divisions for which there are something like 1,400 entries which will require some five thousand feet of space. This department will be open from 9 a.m. on the first day of tne show, the judging taking place before the opening day. On Thursday, November 4tb, there is always a large attendance of farmers. The public are entertained in the show ring by the Hunters' Competition for lady riders, some 26 horses competing, and a Steeplechase Riders' Competition, for which over 30 horses are entered. The Manawatu Kennel Club's exhibits are judged on this day and the entries total over 500. Friday, November sth: is known as the People's Day, and is mostly
given up to the exhibition of stock and competitions in the show ring, which latter include competitions for the forty guinea challenge cup and £4O in prizes, fifty horses being entered fur this event. Intending visitors should note that Excursion fares prevail on the railways. The show is well worth a visit from those interested in agriculture, and even the general public will find profit and pleasure in paying it a visit. A number of novelties will be found in the side show divisions, and something like one and a half acres will be required to accommodate this feature of the amusements.
