Mr. H. F. Allen, secretary of the New Zealand Shopkeepers' Association, writes :—ln: — In an article in your issue last evening, under the heading "Shops and Shows," it was stated "that the New Zealand . Shopkeepers' Association are recommending that the proposed display in June should be postponed for a few months, to enable an agricultural and pastoral show to be arranged." I beg to point out that such is not the case.' The annual report of the New Zealand Shopkeepers' Association stated that^ a proposed Carnival Week had occupied consideration, but that the executive committee had decided to let further consideration* of that matter stand over for a few months. The suggested Carnival Week has nothing tp do with the New Zealand Industries Week, which will be held in Wellington from the 4th to 10th of next month. The proposed Carnival Week, and the. New Zealand Industries Week are two distinct matters. I hope you will favour mo by inserting this letter, in order that no confusion may arise. Everything in connection with the New Zealand Industries Week is well forward.
