PAHIATUA SHOW.
UNUSUAL ATTRACTION.
From time to time many strange stories have reached the outside world from the depts of the Amazonian forests and South American jungles, of gaily plumaged birds rarely •se*en by the eyes of mankind, glitteringiy brilliant reptiles, and of stunted races of people who speak no language, only a succession ol grunts and whose sole* weapons of war are the primitive bow and arrow. But there arrived in New Zealand a few weeks ago a collection of live deathdealing reptiles which include a huge alligator. In capturing the alligator alive several natives were injured and one lost his life before the monster was subdued, and it is only under U special permit and a heavy bond that these monsters were allowed Land in New Zealand for a limited period. They will be showing at the Pahiatua Show in a strong wood and iron structure to insure* the safety of 'patrons. Look for the big alligator banner in the side-show section.
