WAIKATO SHOW.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. VISITORS FKO3I EVEBYWHEBE. SCHOOL EXCURSIONS. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") HAMILTON. Wednesday. Beautiful weather greeted the second lay of the Waikato Winter Show, and great crowds thronged the buildings throughout the day. Three special trains arrived packed with school children from Rotorua and Waihi, and these kiddies were soon inspecting the various exhibits, as well as the side shows, the merry-go-rounds being crowded on every trip. Before leaving for home at night the children were given a cup of hot tea and something to eat in the railway station grounds, where a marquee had been erected and a hot water service installed. This was greatly appreciated, seeing the long distance the children had to return home. This service was run by the Farmers' Auctioneering Company. Running , in conjunction with the show, in a hall close by, under the Department of Agriculture, i≤ a farmers' farm school. This is being fairly well attended, though it is questioned whether this i≤ quite the right time for a school, with so much else on to distract. The Department experts have been delivering lectures. Among the visitors to the Show is the Argentine Consul-General for New Zealand. Mr. Humbert Bidone. and this gentleman has been greatly impressed with its comprehensiveness and the tremendous interest which the show seemed' to create, and also the wonderful display of roots. He said he nsver expected to find in a district so far away from rhe capital such a varied display of produce and of such excellent quality. FURTHER AWARDS.
