General entries close to-night at 9 o’clock. Jill day yesterday the secretary’s office was thronged with exhibitors, and every mail brought its big budget of letters. The secretary reports that present indications point to record entries this year. For the convenience of those attending the Palmerston Show, the committee has an office in the show ground .'n charge of Mr Win. Quirke, and the chief stewards in the various classes havo arranged to attend the show and canvas for entries.

On account of several of the exhibitors of purebred ca'ttlo offering their stock at the purebred stock sale during Palmerston Show week the committee has decided to take late entries at Palmerston, so that anyone who is exhibitin'- at Palmerston can make Ids entries at the Wanganui show office on ,tho ground.

Association’s committee rooms at 8 o’clock on Thursday night, to utter a protest, from North Island breeders, against the proposed Clydesdale Stud-book, as it is hold that the Draught Stud-Book meets the needs of breeders.
