Bpyter, show secretary, reports. The show will open on Thursday, Sept. 5 and continue through Saturday, Sept. 7. Entries must be in the hands of the secretary by Sept. 1, and animals be on the exhibit grounds by 9 a. m. Sept. 5. However, the show management urges all exhibitors to have their animals ani-mals on the ground the day before the show. Mr. Boyter states that entries are coming in earlier than usual and in greater numbers, Indicating that the total number of animals to hei exhibited will exceed that of any previous year. The t-iow will again be held at the Iron Bowl race track sheds, where It was held for the first time last year, and committee workers are busy putting the area and pens in shape for the big event. Plans are going forward to build a new show pavilion for next year's show, but this will have no bearing on preparations for the 1957 event. An agreement between the show association and the city administration for use of city land for the show pavilion and other developments, has been worked out and will undoubtedly be signed at the next regular meeting of the city council, to be held on Wednesday Sept. 5.
