* Ki~fi : 1 - , -46th <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>|OF THE COUNCIL OF THERoyal National Agricltual & Industrial__ _____I____ _ Association of Queenslandfor <strong>the</strong> Year, <strong>1921</strong>.LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,Your Council have pleasure in submitting <strong>the</strong>ir 46th<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> and Financial Statement, covering epitomisedparticulars of business transacted during <strong>the</strong> year <strong>1921</strong>.Notwithstanding <strong>the</strong> period of general depression withwhich Queensland industries have recently had to wrestle, <strong>the</strong>results achieved by your Association are gratifying, and for<strong>the</strong> assistance rendered to achieve such results, we thankmembers, prize donors, exhibitors, and <strong>the</strong> general public, whoso generously supported us with <strong>the</strong>ir patronage.We were favoured with splendid wea<strong>the</strong>r throughout <strong>the</strong>Show week. It is estimated that over 200,000 people attended<strong>the</strong> Show, and <strong>the</strong> gate takings amounted to £9,688, an increaseof £2,479 as compared with <strong>the</strong> receipts for 1918, on which yearall previous attendance figures had been surpassed.During <strong>the</strong> year, a substantial sum was expended in carryingout necessary permanent improvements. When <strong>the</strong>Brisbane City Council graciously granted permission totemporarily close that section of Gregory Terrace which divides<strong>the</strong> Show Ground into two areas, we were able to carry out aimuch desired remodeling scheie in <strong>the</strong> Live Stock Reserve(late Petty's Paddock). Loose boxes and open stalls for horseswere erected with frontages to broad, tree planted avenues,running parallel to <strong>the</strong> existing accommodation for horses,sheep, swine, poultry, and dogs, and to <strong>the</strong> John Reid IndustrialHall. O<strong>the</strong>r avenues, running at right angles to <strong>the</strong> abovementioned were laid out, <strong>the</strong> whole scheme presenting a pleuingeffect.
EiLij., .:., .. *. . *: .Although <strong>the</strong> removal and re-erection of <strong>the</strong> fences oneach /side of Gregory Terrace was this year an expensiveundertaking, <strong>the</strong> structural system adopted will permit, onfuture occasions, <strong>the</strong> removal of <strong>the</strong> fence, in sections, fromsockets built into <strong>the</strong> ground, and replacement <strong>the</strong>rein when-<strong>the</strong> Show is over, at a cost which will be infinitessimal as comparedwith this year's expenditure.The conversion of a portion of Gregory Terrace, temporarily,into a part of <strong>the</strong> Show Ground, only increased <strong>the</strong> areaby about 27,000 square feet, but it made a remarkable changein <strong>the</strong> surroundings. The Show Ring appeared to be considerablyenlarged, and from <strong>the</strong> Grand stand a sweeping viewwas obtained right across to <strong>the</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>st boundary of <strong>the</strong>Live Stock Reserve.The temporary closure referred to of a portion of GregoryTerrace ( and <strong>the</strong> conversion of <strong>the</strong> closed portion of that roadinto part of <strong>the</strong> Show Grounds, made necessary certain alterationsfor controlling ingress and egress. Barricades, ornamentalin design, and fitted with large double gates in <strong>the</strong>centre through which could pass tram cars and o<strong>the</strong>r vehicles,fitted on ei<strong>the</strong>r side with sixteen openings for pedestrians, madeadmission to <strong>the</strong> Grounds,- this year, a pleasure as comparedwith <strong>the</strong> crush experienced on past occasions. In previousyears, our friends will remember, <strong>the</strong> tram cars disembarked<strong>the</strong>ir passengers immediately in front of <strong>the</strong> seven turnstylesforming <strong>the</strong> only means of access to <strong>the</strong> grounds, and consequently<strong>the</strong> better <strong>the</strong> tramway system, <strong>the</strong> greater <strong>the</strong>congestion at our entrance. Many were <strong>the</strong> complaints whichreached us in connection with this system. It can <strong>the</strong>reforebe understood how pleased we were to receive nothing butcongratulations from all connected with handling this year'straffic. Arrangements were made with <strong>the</strong> Tramway Coy.to disembark passengers on that portion of Gregory Terracewhere <strong>the</strong> Annexes join <strong>the</strong> museum boundary. From thatspot down to <strong>the</strong> barricade (situated just below Costin Street),twelve ticket selling offices were provided, and <strong>the</strong> whole resultwas gratifying. No crush took place at <strong>the</strong> ticket ofices, and<strong>the</strong> crowd had so spread out before reaching <strong>the</strong> barricadesthat <strong>the</strong>re was always room at one or o<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> sixteenopenings. Our elderly patrons, in particular, were loud in<strong>the</strong>ir expressions of approval regarding <strong>the</strong> change. Thebarricades were constructed in sections, in such manner thateight men could lift away one of <strong>the</strong>m, and as shortly after4 o'clock each afternoon, <strong>the</strong> whole obstruction was removed,greater facilities were offered for quick departure than hadever occurred previously.! ...
