Mr L. H. Smart, secretary, reviewed the entries in the various sections and stated that they were practically the same as last year. He considered indications were excellent for a good show.
“Entries are particularly good and given favourable weather there is no reason why the show should not be as good if not better than last year,” commented Mr McLeod. The secretary of the Wellington District Cocker Spaniel Club advised that Mrs J. W. Watt had re-donated the club cup, which she had won outright, for competition. It was decided to send Mrs Watt a letter of thanks. The Manawatu-Oroua branch of the N.Z. Pig Breeders’ Association wrote stating that the Berkshire Cup had been won outright by Mr H. E. Fieldhouse, of Rongotea. The cup would be replaced by a handsome canteen of cutlery valued at £l5 15s. In the. “large black” section the canteen of cutlery had been won outright by Mr G. M. Whitlock. To replace' that a trophy valued at £3 3s had been donated.
Twenty new members were elected.
