Visitors to the Sair'were unanimous 'in their praise of these items and no doubt the same appreciation will be shown by patrons of the Show. The T.iT.M.I. Band have generously' offered to provide the accompaniments. Mr Armstrong's Orchestra has also kindly undertaken to -provide a programme of music each evening.. Another new feature will be table decorating competitions for children and men on the stage each evening. The foregoing, together with sundry weight judging and other competitions will make up a pro-, gramme that no one should miss. The Show will be open at 2.30 on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and at 7.30 each evening., The spectacular performances commence at 8 eharp. In regard to the refreshments,. Miss Stanford has kindly undertaken to arrange for the afternoon tea on' Wednesday after- . noon, and Misses Hardcastle and Bayley .on Wednesday evening.
