Owing to the introduction of exhibits by the Manufacturers’ Association—an entirely new feature—there will bo no room for sideshows, the space usually allotted to these being replaced by far more important exhibits by the manufacturers. Their showing of articles made in the province will be found to splendid, and is all the more commendable because at the present time there is a shortage of material and labor, and the manufacturers have more orders than they can cope with. The Agricultural Department, for the first time since pre-war days, is also making a display of grasses suitable for Central Otago and of lucerne grown in various parts of New Zealand. During the course of the show Mr A. Macpherson (Fields Instructor, Canlerbiny) will lecture on lucerne culture and regressing.

On each afternoon Death’s string band will play, ami in the evenings tlio 4th (Otago) Regiment Band and *he Highland Pipe Band will enliven tho proceedings. Mrs Winter will cater. “ALADDIN” DYE SOAP.
