MR AVILD’S OPINION
GROUND CONSOLIDATED
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 2oThe annual conference ofto-daV-Agricultural Society commenced The society’s history was trace by Mr L. J. Wild (Feildmg), in his presiden tial address, and he expressed the opm ion that neither the society nor the Royal Show had yet completed the evolutionary period or reached its hnat form. Since the last conference the ground had definitely been consolidated both in the matter of membership and in Southland’s second demonstration that an excellent and profitable Royal Show could be run in spite or a geographical handicap. It was too soon to judge the success or otherwise of the district councils, but if, as he believed, the men on them had consented to nomination because or faith in the future of the society, and ff they could place national interests before all others, then the councils deserved success and the history of the society would continue to be the history of the agricultural progress of the Dominion. The election of officers resulted as follows:—President, Mr L. J. Wild; vice-presidents, Messrs G. H. Macniven (Hawke’s Bay) and A. S. Holms (Waimrihaka); lion, treasurer, Sir William Hunt.
It was decided that the council be asked to consider a scheme for subsidising the railage of stock to Royal Shows.
