Snow number one at Mastorton on Tuesday Inst was a success, show namber two nt Carterton to-day is a success, and show number three at the Hutt later on will also have its i measure of sucoess, A triple success in shows is something for the Wairarapa to be proud of,—even the Hutt show depends upon this district for its exhibits, and its management,and is virtually a Wairarapa show--but . what a greater triumph would it not be for the Wairarapa if the money and energy which brings about three separate and distinct successes were combined to produce one grand show which would take a leading position in the h'st of New. Zealand pastoral an! agricultural exhibitions, Ultimately we believe common sense will prevail, and the three existing shows will become merged into one, but it is not easy to discover how at , present the union can be brought about, fefjflflbt the Hutt show was intended to bo strong and, vigorous enough to efface the more local shows, but the first year's experience of this venture conclusively demonstrated i that the ,ambjtipu 'of some of its prpmpjgrs fp 'fnajrajf n'cplpnial show, in some mensjwo 'rjyalhjjjj j£|jj& .Christchurch exhibition, could Wtpppsfbly be realised, If the Intention of the .Wairarapa' promoters'- of the Hutt show 1 was to superseed the Mastorton and Carterton shows, Ihey must themselves admit the futility of their enterprise.
