The schedule for the Hawke’s Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Spring Show, which is to take place on October 17th and 18th, is now available to all interested, and the secretary (Mr A. M. Retemeyer) will be pleased to forward a copy by return mail on application to P.O. Box 145, Napier. The schedule is without doubt the most comprehensive yet issued by the society, and stud breeders and all interested should obtain a copy without delay.

All classes of horses, cattle, sheep and pigs are provided for, and in addition comprehensive sections are included for dogs, poultry, bread, butter, honey, bacon, fleece wool, needlework, knitting, school work, woolclassing, cattle and sheep judging and numerous horse competitions.
