The Manawatu A. and P. Association was faced with the need for more covered space for the next Winter Show. A building proposal was submitted to the finance committee for investigation. It was stated as an item of interest that “two 'magnificent motor cars were in town,” the owners’ names being given. The Aianawatu A. and P. Association had decided that on Show days motor-cycles and motor-cars should be admitted to the grounds miy if they were for exhibition. A report of the activities of the New Zealand Farmers’ Dairy Union showed that there were suppliers banded into a branch at Maharoba.ru. The ship which had carried the flag of the Japanese loader, Admiral Togo, through the whole of the war with Russia, had caught fire and had sunk near Tokio. A total of 599 lives were lost. Admiral Togo was not on board at the time. Rumours had emanated from fat. 1 etersburg that there had been extensive importations of arms into Finland for some time past.
