It was decided to accept the services of the 10th Regiment Band at £lO per day. The tender, of Mrs Winter for the luncheon booth was accepted.' The secretary of the Palmorston North Society for the Pre.veut.ion of Cruelty to Animals wrote, forwarding correspondence passed by its Society and the Manawatu Agricultural and Fasttoral Association, dealing with the cruelty allowed at buck-jumping displays.' The writer stated, "I. venture' to ask your kind assistance.in putting down these, shows which, undoubtedly are. mere exhibitions ofcrucjty for the purpose of gain.

Mr Buckley said it would be a mistake to keep out the side-shows, provided they were reasonably well conducted, for a number of people derived much amusement from 1 the various shows,

Mr Rrownlic moved-,, "That space be granted to the circuses, provided that no buck-jumping' was'iudulged in and
