'than"' sixteen different papers ranging from Auckland to Christchurch, the secretary is continually getting inquiries as to whether the show dates hare been altered. It seems, therefore, neoessnry to repeat that the show will be held on Wednesday and Thursdav, nest, November 16 and 17, and, given fine weather,' the committee hope to see the biggest crowd ever assembled in Wanganui present on the Showground on Thursday.

Williams and Co., in the leaping and hunters' 'competitions respectively very keenly contested for.

Those who are more practical, and whose minds tnrn to butter-fafc-will have a chance of seeing some superb specimens of all the leading milking breeds—Holsteins, Ayrshires, and Jerseys. The hvo very handsome silver challenge cups presented by the Wanganui dairymen promise to be very keenly competed for, and the dairy test class has attracted a very big list of entries.
