WANGANUI.

November 4. The Manawatu Show. A large number of Wanganui people journeyed down 'to Palmerston North to be present at the Agricultural Show, which was held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. There is very little social news to chronicle. Golf is over, and the tennis and croquet lawns do not open until the end of >this week, when we are all hoping to have a fine day so that we can don our summer frocks and hats. Some Smart Toilettes.
