ROYAL SHOW.
five-district PLAN. REORGANISATION SCHEME. SOUNDER NATIONAL FOOTING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this lay. I The annual meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand ; was held to-day. Support for the proposed scheme of reorganisation, involv- , ing division of New Zealand into five . districts for the purpose of holding a Royal Show in each once every live years, was urged by the retiring president, Mr. L. R. Maefarlane, who emphasised measures which would strengthen the society and place it 011 a sounder national footing. The newly-elected president, Mr. L. J. Wild, of Feilding, moved that the principle of reorganisation be reaffirmed. He said the society seemed to have drifted backwards considerably, and the scheme which was under discussion would give it new life. It involved a certain amount of decentralisation in the direction of developing keen district intereit, and at the same time it would bring about the national outlook that was so desirable.
