WINTER SHOW

ARRANGEMENTS WELL FORWARD. A start was made yesterday afternoon to stage the factory cheese and butter, for which over 220 entries have been received, and it is necessary that the judges in this section should start operations on Dnday morning. The whole arrangements in connection with the show are progressing satisfactorily, but exhibitors are reminded that next Monday is a whole holiday, and it would be advisable that they should have their stands as well .forward by the end of the week as possible. . The committee regret that owing to the pressure to provide the necessary accommodation for stock and exhibits entered for competition, they were compelled yesterday to ask three oxhibifors_to cancel their applications for space. ine committee appreciate the readiness with which these exhibitors have mot their request, but it could not be avoided, as to meet the requests of exhibitors some spaces wero_ allocated before all the entries were received. Th display of fruit is considerably in excess of last year, and the committee recognising that it was too much to expect Mr Goodwin, the fruit instructor, to act on his own, communicated with Mr Campbell, the Director in Wellington, who advised the committee that he had no other officer available. Mr E. Oswald Reilly, of to® Central Produce Mart, was approached by the committee yesterday morning, and has consented to assist the society by working in co-operation with Mr Goodwin in the fruit section. _ For the convenience of exhibitors erecting their stands, an additional telephone has been placed in the building upstairs (No. 3467), and exhibitors are requested to use this number and thus relieve the office telephone.
