POET ALBERT SHOW.
(by telegraph—own correspondent.)
Fort Albert, this day.
The Port Albert Agricultural and Horticultural Show took place to-day. The weather was fine and cool. There was a large assemblage of visitors from the various districts for mile* around, besides several from Auckland. Of the live stock, horses (mostly draughts) showed up in great numbers, several of the entries being really line specimens of their class. In cattle the entries wore not numerous. The first prize short-horn bull was a line animal, showing good breeding. Sheep also were shown in fair numbers, two pens of two-toothed Lincoln ewes, being really good. There was only ono entrance in pigs. The show of fruit was a good one bufc nob equal to lastyear'e, owingto the exceedingly dry season, which especially ail'eots bhe Show vegetables. Messrs F. Lawry, M.H.R., and Saiuebury. officiated as judges of the live, stock, and Mr Turner of Auckland was judge of the horticultural exhibits. Some excellent butter, cheese, and hams were shown, also some first-class samples of Tuscan wheat and field beans. Tho Committee and Secretary deserve credit for another success with this popular and annual show. Everything passed off without a hitch.
