The gates, were not large,- owing to' the fact..that ■ there were no . large towns'elbso to, Hawera, .although they. had;a: thickly-settled, district. Still, : Eo: thought i .th'ey ought; to', bo . able to have a winter ,show,' in . Hawera, because the population'had immensely increased since the society mado it's first attempt. Mr. A. W. Gillies- (treasurer 'of, the. A. and P, Association) said some/members of tho A. and P. Association .thought it might clash wjth: tho. summer; show. - In his; opinion it would'-not. ; The summer show was more an ."oxhibition. for,; fat ; stock.) of all ;descriptions;. a , winter show:, was . 'practically composed .of: machinery Tho majority of people who attended the Palmcrston. Show camo from Taranaki. (Hear, hear.) The association was now in a strong position, and ; ho\ thought it would bo / better - if 'tho show could be held on - tho association's present grounds, although. tho .distance from town would, bo a drawback, espccjfilly in the winter time, . when .-it. was invariably wet. .He suggested .that v a suitable working committee from the .Chamber'of Commerco aJid;Aand P. Association bo formed, to.' meet ,on the show ground/to discuss.the : matter further. If the members of. tho Chamber agreed that the, show. : ground' was' out/qf! tlie question ho ,would take/ it for granted that the A. and P. Association could not help tho

matter at all as a society, but ho felt suro that tlio members individually would do their best to help, the movement along. (Applause.) , Mr. F. TV.' TVilkie considered that if the show was- to bo held on' the ; show ground, then the movement must 'emanate from tho A. and P. Association. If the matter was left to a mixed committee, .he .was afraid that mariy : difficulties would arise, and the movomont would be "killed before it was alive." ' .■• v , ■' Mr. 'Wills said" he felt satisfied that the A. and P. Association would not contribute toward any buildings erected outside of their own grounds. '' \ ; Mr. Barton'suggested that the stock part of the show, which would be viewed'in the day-time, could bo held on tho A; and. P. grounds, while the machinery exhibition could bo shown in somo suitable building' in I the'-toirn,'and open at night as well as day. ' I' Mr: E. Dixon considered the A/and P. Association would havo to bo. the. controlling body, . but lie was quite sure . the citizens would, , if necessary, sign their names to a guarantee. ' He believed . the townspeople would like to get the show in the centre of tho town, but be considered . that would bo unworkable. s ; Mr. J.. Brunette concurred. ;Mr; Gillies thought, that if the A:-', and-P.' Association did not, go on •with' l the'proposal tho townspeople could'form a-company.'.for tho. purpose. of: erecting ,'thb necessary buildings. The association , members-individuallyj 'would .do their best-toward'.assisting.'. .;•% . A voice: They.; will' kill: it. . j

Mr. GiUies: No,, they will not,kill; it; They, will help-,it.' • Everyone was agreed' that it was desirable , a winter show should'be held. Mr. i TV. ' Baker {considered there : was no option\but:to go to tho A. and P. grounds; and"; the: help . of- the, citizens would •' be; ie- ; quired to maloe tho show a financial success; The buildings, ■ if put, on the show,'ground, could be used for, "the; summer show. . He did not .think the {distance froih/'tho; town was a;great drawback; Mr. J. Foy agreed that the show;, would have to be held on tho A. and; P. grounds, If buildings were erected '-in- towd by'a com-, pany, the venture■ would be a "white cleit is; desirable' that a., winter show* should, pass a .resolution affirming the .desirableness of holding a winter show in Hawera, and the question of control and. other particulars could' bo discussed later., on. . 'He -moved "That in-the opinion of this meetingit; is desirable.'that a wintershow should - be established.iij,Hawera, and that steps y; bo taken,; at -an ieiirly date .to discuss .waysand; moans. v of ([promoting? such an : . institution." . it'::'...
