WINTER SHOW

KEEN INTEREST SHOWN ATTENDANCES INCREASE MODELS ON DISPLAY There were again large attendances at the Auckland Winter Exhibition yesterday, when the numbers were swelled by large numbers of school children. Returns compiled yesterday showed that for the first four days the receipts exceeded £IBOO, which is about 10 per cent above the figure for the corresponding period last year. On Saturday over 22,000 people paid for admission, this being the second largest daily attendance since the show was commenced 1-5 years ago. Keen interest was displayed in all the exhibits, and an added attraction in the model section was the inclusion of Mr. R. G. Tappenden's racing Moth aeroplane, formerly the property of Lieutennnt H. R. A. Kidston, and a glider loaned by the Auckland Gliding Club. This was a Waco primary glider recently purchased to replace the one destroyed in the storm in February. A high standard of skill was shown in the model yacht, engineering and aeroplane competitions, which were judged yesterday, and in the evening there was a flying competition for model aeroplanes. Rabbits were on show for the first time yesterday, entries being about the same as last year. There was again a varied entertainment presented for patrons who tired of examining stalls or sampling sideshows. Music was provided by the Balmoral Boys' Silver Band, and an entertainment was given by the pupils of Miss Kathleen Boyle. In addition there were vaudeville items and free pictures. This evening there will be a mouth organ band competition, followed by mouth organ competitions. There will also be music by the Mount Eden Boys' Band and free pictures.
