Manawatu Standard (PUBLISHED DAILY.) The Oldest Daily Newspaper on tne West Coast. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1884. POULTRY AND PRODUCE, SHOW.

The inaugural Poultry and Produce Show at Bu-Us on, Tuesday , promises to be a great success, and the attendance should »>e very large, if the weather proves auspicious,^ Intending exhibitors will be glad tc| learn that exhibits arriving by train, will be conveyed from and to Greatford free of cost, arid that, on production of a certificate from the hdii.; secretary (Mr Lyvttelton Fitz'lserAld^, railway freight will not be dharged for conveying exhibits back to ,the station from which they were .sent. We trust the show will be 1 i\\e foije-ruhner of many others to be lield from time to time m yarjqus townships, on the West Coast. 4s an exchange points out:: — -In a district depending almost entirely on farming, it should hardly be necessary to advocate the claims which a show of this kind has on every settler., It is a notorious fact that, m both. poultry ant| produce, many; of the West Coast farmers have a good deal to learn, and there can be no better means afforded them of gaining sound knowledge than by examining the exhibits at Tiiesdayl^ exhibition, every mari ** com-f paring notes v with' his neighbour. ! There are ! no institution^ which have such a substantial claim to public support as shows of this class, and we trust the day is hot far distant when periodical, pastoral, and agricultural gatherings, of wnicji Xu 65---day^s Show is the initiatory, ptejp, wiU be among the recognize^ jns.tU tutionsr. of ; the ; .district,, , attract; ing. visitors from all parts of the .colony, and making known far and wide the magnificent and manifold cesourcesof these districts,wbich

Nature has so wonderfully endowed with the elements of rural wealth. We hope to see the first show a pronounced success, aiid to see it also completely eclipsed by those which take? place subsequently.; That the promoters /and managing committee have done their very irtv most to secure this consummation is universally radmitted, and "we trust the outside public will extend to the Show a liberal amount of patronage,* and so 'demonstrate their satisfaction with the results achieved, and prove their sincere desire to do what lies m their power to extend their countenance and co-operatioft to so laudablfe ' and 'beneficial an undertaking. :
