A. AND P. SHOW

EVENING ATTRACTIONS.

SPLENDID PROGRAMMES.

Everything is now ready for the evening attractions in connection with the Summer Show and, given fine weather, these evening programmes should prove a great source of entertainment. A very full bill of fare is promised and the entertainments will include pony trots, calf riding (for boys), gymnastic displays and items by the Southland Boys’ High School choir of 200 voices. The thrill for Tuesday night will undoubtedly be the buckjumping contest. Several well known sportsmen throughout the dis-trict-have. generously promised to bring forward some real outlaws for the great event. In this connection, Mr J. McArthur is arriving that morning with a truck load from the Te Anau district. Mr McArthur is one of the finest rough riders in the province and he can be relied upon to give an outstanding display. On Wednesday evening, the thrill of thrills will be staged when the great wild steer riding contest takes place. Sixteen specially selected steers from Mr R. Bradley’s station, Mangapiri, have been topping off at the Borstal farm for the last few weeks and they should be in prime condition for this great event. The society has benefited from last year’s experience in that these animals can be guaranteed to bring the crowd to their feet.

As Mr Alex Sutherland is in charge of the evening arrangements, the public can rest assured that the different items on the programmes will be despatched up to time. The admission charges are very reasonable and generous patronage is anticipated.
