HASTINGS, to-day. ; The excursion train from Dannevirke took fully. 100 passengers to Hastings show, and at every station en route the "number was increased, until f ulTy 100^ people must have been on board on arrival at the show grounds. The day is close, with a light wind blowing across the ground, while rain is threatening, but will probably hold off. The attendance is one of the largest .with .'-which the association has yet been favored, and the sight on the lawn and stands this afternoon was. a. very bright and- animated one. The parade of animals was a particular, striking feature, while there is an exceedingly strong display of implements and motor ears.
