Free Railway Passes for Judges at Shows.

Mr Bradey moved, "That the Railway Commissioners be approached with a view to obtaining free passes over the lines for judges attending shows."

Mr Dunlop seconded the motion, and pointed out that if the concession were granted small associations would be able to obtain the services of good outside men.

Mr Buchanan considered that if such concessions were granted to agricultural and pastoral associations, the Government would find it difficult to draw the line.

Mr Pharazyn moved that the words "agricultural and pastoral" be put before shows.

The resolution in its amended form was then agreed to, and it was decided to refer the matter to the committee.
