"AUCKLAND'S ORDEAL"
SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT. (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") ; AUCKLAND, This Day. In the course of an editorial under the caption of "Some Show Reflections," last night's "Star", says:—"Auckland has come well through the ordeal of its first Royal Show." ' We say ordeal advisedly, for the local association was on its trial. There was opposition to the show coming to Auckland, aiid the association knew that its management would be judged; by a high standard. It was well aware also j that the facilities at its disposal were not equal to those in some other places. Tho show ground at Epsom is,.in important respects, inferior to those at | Palmerston North, Christchurch,, Dunedin, and Hastings. However, the i local officials applied themselves vigorously to the task, and the arrangements they made drew warm,. praise from the president of the Roj^il, Agricultural Spciety. "The (fuestion remains in the minds of farmers whether, owing to the cost and risk of moving valuable stock over a long distanco, it would not be better to hold the show alternately at Palmerston "North and Christchurch, but Auckland has shown that there is no other reason why this city should not have its turn."
