COMMITTEE'S REPORT FOR

1928-29.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE.

The Committee the New Territories Agricultural Show hasi forwarded us the following report and statement of accounts of the Show held on January 5 and 6, this Year:-

There is a small balance of 881.91 with which to begin the work for next year's Show to be held on January and 6 1930, and the Committee are unanimous that the Show must be continued.

There was some difficulty at the last show in transportation of ex- hibits, and some exhibitors did not appear to have read the instruc--

remedied as the exhibitors get ac tions very carefully. This will be

customed to the exhibition from yer to yenr.

Thanks to Helpers.

The thanks of the Committee are accorded to the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, the then Officer Adminis tering the Government and Mrs. Southern for their presence and services in connection with the open ceremony: and also to Sir Robert and Lady.

The Committee also de

ment to the Imperial Chemical In- dustries, Ltd, for their generous aid and the deep interest which

they had taken in the Show, and to Mr. H. B. L. Dowbiggin, the Com mittee are indebted for his help to obtain the excellent services of the 3/15th Punjab Regiment and to Mr. Fung Ki Cheak, who has been a hard worker and a strong sup- porter of the Show for the past two years. Thanks are also offered to the Government for the provision. of the buildings, to Mr. Fraser, the District Officer for constans, advice and assistance throughout the year and to Mr. H.
