The nineteenth annual show of the above association was held to-day (Wednesday) when there was a good attendance. The day opened fine, but showers fell about lunch time. The showyards at Mititai presented an enlivened picture of the development of the district. The total number of exhibits showed an advance of 100 on last year's, and competition generally was good. The horses shown were very fine, just about the best lot seen at a country show for many a day. The exhibit of cattle was not so fortunate, certainly not truly representative of the district. A good line of Jerseys was an exception to this criticism. Fruit and vegetables showed up well, being numerous and of good quality. Exhibits of maize, cocksfoot, and chaff attracted attention, as showing the district's resources in this direction. The ferrying arrangements for the day were excellent. The riding and driving competitions provoked keen interest. The principal awards in the horse and cattle classes were as follow:

The North Kalpara Agricultural Association held their annual show on the Association's grounds on Friday, the 16th inbt., under very favourable circumstances. The weather was cool, the dust laid, and the day was fine. The attendance was a good one; Lhough the takings at the gates did not equal some years, they would probably be more than made up by the increased number of members' tickets sold. Amongst the live stock and In the horse ring the number of entries compared favourably with any preceding year. Inside the hall there were fewer entries in one or two sections than last year, which was a record year. The prize lfcrt is as follows: — HORSES. (Judge: Mr Wyim Brown.) Groomed horse: J. Sloan 1, K.
