ROTORUA EXHIBITION SUCCESSFUL THIRD DAY [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT"] KOTOKUA, Saturday A largely-attended and successful concert brought tho Rotorua Winter Show to a close last evening. The decision of the executive to keep the show open three days, instead of two, has been justified by events. Wintry conditions on Wednesday and Thursday interfered wit 11 the attendance, particularly ol visitois from the country. A day of brilliant sunshine yesterday turned the tide of fortune and made tho total of visitors to the show slightly larger than last year. r
