A. AND P. SHOW.

m HOROWHENUA SOCIETY. AN INTERESTING DISPLAY. (By Our Special Reporter.) The sixth annual show of the Horowhenua' Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held on the racecourse at Lovin yesterday. The day was beautifully fine, and in consequence tho attendance was very good, and much in excees of last year's show.- Among those present wore tho Hon. D. Buddo and Mr. J. R. Robertson, M.P. for Otaki, and Mr. W. H. Field, the district's late representative. The show was a distinct advance from every point of view on that of any previous year. The entries were ISO more than last year, and, particularly in the sheep and horse classes, a decided improvement in quality was noticeable. The handsome cup presented by Mr. J. R. M'Donald for the best hack on the ground was won by Mr. M'Donald's own horse, Aotea, which was ridden by Miss Campbell, of Wanganui. The Boys' Training Farm did exceedingly well in the matter _of prizes, as will be seen by the prize-list. The Porirua Mental Hospital secured most honours in the pig classes, and Mrs. Hadfield, as usual, secured the lion's chare of awards in Romney sheep classes. The band from the Boys' Training Farm provided an excellent programme of music during the day. The results were as follow :— Best boy rider, 15 years — Master Guy Tulley 1, Master Ken. Bishop 2.
