WELLINGTON WINTER SHOW & CARNIVAL

Matters in connection with tho Wellington Winter Show and Carnival are now beginning to assume concrete form. The various committees entrusted with the different sections have been meeting almost daily, and the reports presented to the executive as to the progress being made are most encouraging. Already a start has been made in transforming the building in which the Winter Show proper is to be housed, and the railway line running along is being covered and floor-od-in in order to add extra space-. Space is still being applied for, and it is evident that the accommodation available will be taxed to its utmost. Included in this section will bo a fine display of primary products arranged by the" Department of Agriculture, and the bays of the Hutt Valley and Nelson should prove most interesting. The stands of the various milking machines should give the city people an insight into the latest developments in . these- useful adjuncts to the dairy industry, and it is hoped to have a demonstration of a milk recorder and tester attached to one of the machines in actual working. The City Milk Department is also making an exhibition, and tho National Dairy Association will also have a cheese and butter plant in operation. The ham and bacon industry will he well represented, and there will be exhibits of raw material used in the making of foodstuffs. ' Tho central piece in this pavilion will be a pyramid of flowers and shrubs staged by one of the leading nurseries.

In the Indus-trial Exhibition there will be comprehensive displays. This section will be under the direction of the Wellington Industrial Association.

The second Olympic Motor Show in Wellington, under the auspices of the ■Wellington Motor Association will give visitors an opportunity of judging Iho high state of efficiency which this industry has now reached in the matter of luxurious pleasure cars, the useful business car, and the motor-lorry which has now become an adjunct to almost every business, and there will also be a display of the useful agricultural motor tractors.

The live stock section will be of considerable interest, and entries of fat sheep and cattle are coming in well.

Satisfactory arrangements have now been made for holding the hunters' events on a suitable ground in close proximity to the Lyall Bay tram, while the sheep dog trials, which are. expected to include a. contest for the New Zealand Sheep Dog Trials' Association champion gold medal, will bo held nfc Ncwtown Park, whore the parade of draught horses will' include all the best animals of tho Wellincton City1 Council, which are always such a draw at the Manawatu Show.
