ROYAL SHOWS
HAWKE’S BAY OPINION. Per Press Association. HASTINGS. June 12. The opinion that the Royal A. and P. Society has not the power to adopt Canterbury’s suggestion to fix only two permanent venues, for Royal Shows, and in any case it would not be willing to do so, was expressed by speakers at a meeting of the Hawke’s Bay A. and P. Society. Mr J. H. Macniven (chairman) said the suggestion came from Christchurch only, and he did not think :t would get any further. In his opinion the Royal Society itself would not agree. When the Royal Shows were started they were meant to go round, and if tlie system was altered it would mean the end of the Royal Society. The change must come from the Royal Society which, he believed, would not dare to adopt it.
