THE SPRING SHOW

LIGHT RAIN FALLS. LARGE AFTERNOON CROWD. Though not really had, the rveather continued to ho unfavourable for the Spring Show when the exhibition was continued this afternoon, light and intermittent showers of rain falling. It was a little disconcerting, but not such as to keep patrons continually under shelter. There were indications that it would not deter a large crowd from witnessing the grand parade and ring events.
