The subject of -liquor or no liquor caused quite an animated discussion at the meeting of the Masterton A. and P. Association on Saturday last. Mr D. McGregor moved that no liquor ;bo 'provided for the use of '. stewards and judges at this year's- show. Mr McGregor pointed out that there had been a good deal of 'dissatisfaction over the way in which the liquor had been dispensed at past shows. Several members admitted that the privilege in the past had been somewhat abused, and it was suggested that another room .be engaged for tho purpose. Mr J. Strang did not think they were justified in having liquor on the ground in a Nolicense area. Afte r some discussion, in which the opinion was expressed that it would be a mistake not to pro-vide-refreshments for the .judges, tho resolution of Mr McGregor-was'lost on the voices. On- the motion of Mr W. J. Welch, it was decidietf that the refreshment room be transferred to a site to be arranged by Messrs R. Gray and O. C. Summerell. , It was also resolved that the urivilege of introducing guests be restricted to marshal stowards and committeemen.
