"We are goin2 to break all rooords: in attendances if we are favoured with fine wtr." This was the pleasing j remark which 31) H. C. Ay re. "u¡:;enn- tendent of works for the Bath and West of England Show, utt-ered to a "Leader" man who interviewed him on the prospects of the show in Swansea. STwice previously hayo the promoters chosen the seaport town for their annual exhibition, said Mr. Ayre, and on those two occasions the height of ambition has been realised, and success written down. "But this year we even hope to do better. and with the show in its more advance stages, I think we are justified to expect- better results. In riy opi-nion Swansea will head the list, for attendances. At present it runs second to Bristol, but after ti-tis yen* J expect it to be on top. You can judge bow far Swansea, is behind when you compare these figures. When the show 31 came to Swansea in 1892, tho art- ,tendar;ces number* 73,107, and in 1904 the sccond vi-it, that number increased to 7%,8'?7—? remarkably good sign. t?ow in Bristol ou tha last occasion ,he attendances were 110,130—? record I figure, and 50 you see we. hope that 1 given fine woather even that record will be broken. Mr. Ayres explained tha.t the Bath and West of England Siiow always did better in South Wales than in the West or Ei?i&nd. A curious fact, and the reason mven was t ?at Bome?unes the promoters w?nt too near London, where they had excellent horse ¡ shows; or that they went to a town which proved to be the centre of a series of flower and horticultural shows. Mr. Ayre w-as enraptured with the site of this year's event. "A bit small you know," he remarked, "but level and easy going. People do not like to go through a maza as it were. They U-ko to know where they are going, and that is iust what we have done for them this y-ear. They simply walk down one avenue and return by the other. Simple, but most effective. T suppose you wou?d h&rd!v T?cogmse ti?e Park { Cricks Fi4d, aim] Recraeiim Grocmd new; ?&r we h?ve erected so manv- cot a?U?os?her picturesque sheds and stands in ,,ir iaw ?t?t,e. ??Tt when j all is c.>omtjl there wii! he a most. J^ffeciire ?p?a.ranp&?_?d ?? erection j so up to date and unique, will even form a feature of the show themselves. It has meant a, lot of work, and you would scarcely credit that 800 tons of timber-supplied from Messrs. Gregor, Swanseu-have been used for these crection.s. We are up to date, and that being so, we can justly demand great patronage. Preparations have been made for the whole show ground to be one. For instance, there will be avenues connecting the nark, cricket field, and recreation ground, and thus it will be seen we have done all in our power to provide facilities and comforts to those who do us the honour of paying a visit. Mr. Ayre then led our reporter through the plan of the show ground. First of all, he said, we have our main entrance at the main entrance of your Park. Tha entrance picture- sque is an old English structure which has done service to the show for very many yooxs past. Inhere also will be seen the Council Pavilion and garden -—bang lip baa-uti fully by Messrs. Edward Persons and Co. Having reached the show ground you turn to your imTtKxHate right, and j there you ftre foce to face with the machinery jarnii motion scrtiosn. This najs. rigba; the lepgfth of t1)O Park, and j the exhibitions are numerous. Some of the firms s howing are such well-known ? pt?plf as McsKTS. P. Hornsby anA Sons, Grant-bam, Messrs. BLa.?stone and Son, LW., Stamford: Tnte-rruitioTi.il H?rrc&tcr Co. of T3T?taiTi, Tt4-1.? London, E.C. M?n's. The KeigMey Gas Engines and (?hl Co., Ltd., Keigit- ley, and National Gas Engine C?.. Ash- to n- ttodo r-Ly n e. A feature of this sec- tion will be the stand of the Palmer Tyre Ltd., London, W.C., who will have a machine at wcrk showing the cording of a motor tyre. Amongst the local exhibitors in the section are MCSSTS. Evans Bros., Morriston Messrs. Fitt Bros, and Davies, Swansea; and IMessrs. Jones (Garages) Ltd. On the left of the main entrance will be exhibited seeds, etc. Some of the chief exhibitors in this section are Mcs'?rs. Toogood :md Sons, South amp- ion; Mc&srs. Webb and Sons, Wcrda- J lev; Mid Messrs. Dickson, Ltd., I Chl' In the centre of tJw ground there ?w-ill be exhibited agricultural imple- fmenti-, motor and horse clothing, ek. And in sections tlwrEl are welJ l known exhibitors, such as Messrs. ¡ Harrison McGregor and Co., Ltd., I^eigh, Lanes. Messrs. Bamford's, Ultoxeter; Martin's Cultivator Co., Stamford; Messrs. P. Pierce and Co., Wexford; Messrs. Niassey, liarris, Ltd., London; Messrs. Koll and Co., Gloucester; Bristol Wagon and Carriage Works Co., Bristol; and Messrs. H. Burland and Sons, Wigan. while the local exhibitors include Messrs. E. E. Fletcher, Swansea; Mrs. Giles Phillips and Co., Swansea; Messrs. B Evans and Co., Swansea. In :he fencing, poultry house summer house section, are the Economic Fencing Co., Ltd., London. Then on the other side of the park, near the tennis courts, we have the horticultural section. This will prove attractive, as it usually does, and the tent which will (,ont.-Lin' ihe, <,Kblbits wiil be of an unique structure, quite novel to the district. I might say that this section has been enlarged to accommo- date the number of exhibitors. Having gained admittance to the Cricket Field by means of the avenue, we come to the grand staiid and horse ring, while in the Recreation Ground we aTe acoommodating live stock- horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry, etc At the entrance to the Recreation Ground there, will be a working dairy, where butter will be made, and power and hand cream separation will be shown. At the further end of the Recreation Ground shoeing competi- tions will bo held. and in the centre timbering and splicing compefcit^g will take place on the fourth day of t s how. A large pavilion has been erecte I • exhibition; in forestry and nature study and handicraft exhibits will be on. VIe 8 in St. Gabriel's Hall. A special featura of the show will be the exhibits by. the Colonies-Australia, Canada., BntJ8ø South Africa, Queensland—all of who will display their products, etc. 9 The Mayor of Swansea will open fb show, and judging of cattle comrnet,eo at 9 o'clock on the first morning. TbO j local secretary of the show is Mr. F. -il Parker, Plymouth street, who bqs spared no efforts in making the cv?" huge success. _—- — Printed and Published for the Sw??
