THE SOLWAY STOCK FAIR.
THE DATE FIXED.
The question of fixin , the date for the proposed soiway .- fcock Fa'r scheme came up fo diacusai n at thi meeting of the A. and P. Association on Saturday. The chairman stated that the matter had received some attention j and it was thought that a suitable , time would be about a fortnight after the next Ram Fair. Mr W. E. Bidwill said tliat he noticed that a circular had been issued by the Carterton Society with reeard to holding a Ram Fair after the Masterton Fair. He would not like to see the dates clarh. Mr D. McGregor jun*. thought it would be much easier to secure donations of stock, after the show. It would be an easy maiter to hold stock for a few days at Solway prior to the Fair. It was eventually decided to hold the Fair on Thursday, March 3rd, about a fortnight after the Ram Fair un the present Showgrounda. The matter of canvassing for donations of stock for the Fair was discussed, and members generally promised to give all the assistance in their power towards making the Fair a success. A committee was then formed to organise a campaign for the Fair, consisting of Messrs W. Perry, J. Strang, D. McGregor, and H. Morrison.
