ROYAL SHOW
BOYCOTTEW BY- SHOWMEN. OBJECTION TO LICENSING SYSTEM. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, December 2. A boycott of the Centennial Royal Show next week will be imposed by the New Zealand Showmen’s Association if the Southland Agricultural and Pastoral Association insists on the men being licensed. The men's decision means that there will be very few sideshows at the show; instead they are making arrangements to organise their own carnival on vacant ground behind the railway’ station. Represenatives of the showmen met directors of the A. and P. Association today and requested them to waive the provision in the association's bylaws requiring showmen to be licensed, but the directors decided to adhere to their previous decision and admit only licensed showmen.
