BOOKED OUT

Winter Show Space

All space in the Brydone Hall for the Dunedin Winter Show, from June 2 to 7 next, was booked out when applications for space closed with the secretary of the Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society, Mr R. D. Stewart, yesterday. Farm machinery and motor firms have booked the entire space downstairs in the hall, and manufacturers have booked every square inch of space available upstairs. “ We cannot accept any more applications for space,” Mr Stewart told the Daily Times yesterday. We have had to make certain reservations of space to provide for the competitive classes in the show. The Fanciers Club bird and dog shows will be held in Dalzetv’s No. 2 store as usual in conjunction with the Winter Show, and the store will this year, for the first time, also take some of the ordinary Winter Show sections.” The exceptional demand for space at the Winter Show this year is considered to be a barometer of trading conffitMns in that it reflects the trend from a seller’s to a buyer’s market. The dkffiavs by the farm machinery and motor firms will be as attractive as ever while upstairs the wide representation of manufactured articles will provide a centre of interest. Entries for the competitive classes m the show will close on May 19. Already the secretary has received a farse number of entries, bundles arriv- ■ /tith pvcrv mail.
