LEVIN A. AND P. SHOW.

OPENING TO-MORROW. RECORD APPU' 1 ,TTONS FROM ■ sids sn :.)ws. TWO DAYS OP ALL-ROUND AMUSEIiENT. Both young and old may be assured . of a really enjoyable time at the Levin \ Show, which'opens to-morrow. The ap- . plications from side-show proprietors , constitute a record for the society, all ■ the available space having been book- i ed. As. there are many very modern shows now on the road, the amusement , park should prove a strong attraction on both days of the Show. .The arrangements on the grounds are such as may be expected to facilitate the work of penning' the various classes of stock, and the provide for the. convenience of all visitors. All the live-stock exhibits have in a sense been consolidated, at the western sidp of the grounds, clear of motor and.horse traffic. Close to the fence' along Mako Mako road is the commodious new pavilion for dogs, and a few chains distant are the covered pens for cattle, ou the near side of which are the sheep pens and on the southern side the pig pens. Horses will be tethered under the row of pine trees between the dog pavilion and the grandstand. Between the main entrance gates and the totalieator house is the area reserved for side show? and between this and the grandstand'there will be the trade exhibitsMotor cars will be parked at the eastern end of the grounds. _ lhe course is in excellent condition, and some fiae performances should ba tfeen in the jumping, pony races, and trotting eompetitiens. With entries considerably in excess of those at last show, and the prospect of first class sport and entertainment:, it will not be surprising if the attendances are such as to make the show a record one.
