Officials of the Association are as follow: Patron—Mr T. D. Burnett, M.P.; president—Mr J. A. Fleming; vicepresident—Mr A. N. Grigg; Secretary —Mr Chas. Sewell; Hon. TreasurerMr A. V. Barrett; Committee —Messrs H. P. Ashton, H. C. Barton, J. R. Biddick, J. Blair, T. Corbett, D. Duff, D. Edmond, W. J .Early, A. A. Fleming, F. G. Greenslade, A. H. Guiney, T.~H. Garland, G. E.

All roads seemed to lead to Mayfield to-dav\ The weather was fine, and there' was a large attendance of patrons from distant, districts, as well as a numerous following of local people. The Mayfield people, it may be said here, have, from the inception of the Association, offered exceptional support to the Show, and their enthusiasm and their keenness not to rest till the Mayfield Show is the largest in the County has not in any way cooled down. Rather has it been whetted by the outstanding success achieved by previous fixtures. All arrangements for the convenience of patrons and exhibitors had been carefully gone into and there was little to be desired by either section. Officials settled down to their tasks without much fuss and the fixture Went through without a hitch. Side shows provided the usual avenues for the spending of money and the provision of amusement, and the crowd was kept in gay humour throughout the day. The advantages of the produce shed were further emphasised. The grounds generally were in firstclass order for the Show. Entries of sheep fell away by nearly 100 but still there were 309 exhibits of considerable quality that kept many sheepmen closely interested the greater part of the day. Cattle, too, unfortunately, showed a drop from 83 to 03, but, as in the case of the sheep, quantity was absent but quality was present. Some particularly fine beasts were shown. In answer to the doubts of many people who consider that the tractor would eliminate the draught horse from the County, the entries of draughts to-day totalled the handsome figure of 60, nine more than last year. Light horses however, fell off to the extent of bS the exhibits in this section totalling 100. There has been a decided increase in the interest taken in ponies lately, and tho entry here was 75, against 03 last year, ' Grain and seeds show an increase, of three. This is a small increase, but the point is that it is an increase. Efforts have been made to popularise this section and it is hoped that future shows will see a total of entries far beyond that of the present time. Vegetables and fruit have suffered a bad vear and the entries dropped from 141 last vear to 84 to-day. Unfortunately dairy produce has declined considerably, but the domestic section-pro-duced a big increase, 53 more than last year. Needlework, for some unaccountable reason fell away to 161, after a total of 256 last year; Details of the entries in the last three years are as follow:

ELEVENTH ANNUAL DISPLAY EXHIBITS OF GOOD QUALITY .« SUCCESS IN EVERY RESPECT There was no doubt about the success of the eleventh annual Show promoted by tho Mayfield Agricultural and Pastoral Assoeiation, and held On the showgrounds at Mayfield to-day. Enthusiasm has been displayed by the officers and members of the Association 'to such a degree that the activities of the Association have widened with each succeeding Show. Notwithstanding the highly unsatisfactory position in which the farmer finds himself today, members and the farming community have rallied round the Association in l "a remarkably encouraging manner. While there has Jieeh a falling off in the number of entries in certain sections, there has been an increase in other sections, and especially in those sections which previously were, really representative of the primary industry, but which' for some unknown reason, did not attract the entries they should have carried. . In a year such as the present one, it is pleasing to note that the entries for the fixture have reached the remarkably high total of 1869. This is not a very great fall from the record established last year, and the Association is to be warmly congratulated"' on ' the manner in which the public have- supported their Show, Headed, by energetic officials, the Committee no less energetic,.has succeeded in more firmly establishing the Association, and it is a credit to Mavfield and the whole County.
