PALMERSTON SHOW

IDEAL WEATHER LOWER GATE RECEIPTS Between 600 and 700 persons attended the Palmerston and Waihemo County Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s sixty-fifth annual show at Palmerston showgrounds yesterday. The attendance, which was much lower than in previous years, was affected by the regulations precluding children under the age of 16 from attending. Gate receipts totalled £4B 6s, compared with £Bl 16s last year, The regulations also affected the entries, which were fewer than usual. Most of the judges reported favourably on the quality of the stock, but there was a lack of competition in many sections. Results were: CATTLE Shorthorns (Judge: Mr A.
