THE WINTER SHOW.

n SUCCESSFUL SECOND DAY. POPULAR VERDICT FAVOURABLE. Yesterday was none too inviting in the matter of weather, but people began to triekle in to the winter show at the Drill Hall l ight from the hour of opening, and the attendance was good throughout the day. A heavy shower in the middle of the afternoon had the effect of keeping many at home, hut the probability is tiiat they will make a point of attending to-day or to-morrow. There is this to ho said, that the show is thoroughly deserving of support, and thoroughly worth a lot more than the modest shilling .asked at the door. Everyone who makes Taranaki' his or her home should take this opportunity of seeing what Taranaki can do, for there can be but one result, of the inspection—that all who see this show will go away prouder than before of “the province prolific.” _ The display has justified the selection of the title of “The Garden of New Zealand” for tins district, and it is as well that all should know it from personal inspection. Liberal support this year, in _ the initial stages of the Taranaki winter show, must result beneficially all i-pund ,enabling the Agricultural Society to launch further innovations and attractions nfcxt year, making the show of still greater importance, and attracting huger numbers of exhibitors and visitors to the town. The attendance last night was capital, and the hall presented an ed spectacle. Tne New Plymouth orchestra, of over twenty performers, rendered a splendid programme of music during the evening.—“.News.’ The show is being continued to-day, and will bo brought to a close to-mor-row night.
