THE HASTINGS SHOW.

FINAL DETAILS. The altondanco on People's Day (Thursday) at tho Hawke's Bay show'was estimated at 14,700. This is about 200 over the estimate of last year.- .The trains brought in about 3600 peoplo from Napier during tho day, and about 1800 from, other stations. This is a very slight increase over last year's figures. The hotels were more full than has ever been the case before, and many a private sitting-room was slept in. There were 100 motor ears on tho ground- (including .those on sale) valued at £50,000: Tho Horses. Every expert speaks admiringly of the horses which took part in the competitions, and considers the absence of any mishaps speaks well for both horses and riders. Horse flesh and horsemanship, however, can almost be- said to grow wild in Hawke's Bay. Tho winnings in the hack classes are worth recording :-rf.' Light-weight .
