Association that owing to the exigencies of finance it will be impossible to hold the Royal Show at Palmerston North this year. It has been hoped that the breeders Wf the Dominion would have provided sufficient funds to. warrant |the holding of the show in 19 22, but the appeal for assistance has been somewhat disappointing. Hence, it has been decided to postpone the first Royal Show until 1923. This,, will, in the ordinary course of events be held in Palmerston North.
