WAIMATE A. & P. SOCIETY. DISTRICT’S ANNUAL FIXTURE. OPENED THIS AIOR-NINO. An event of great interest to the people and town and district of Manaia is tlie annual conducted by the Waimate Horticutaurbl and A. and P. Society. The show opened to-day is the twenty-ninth in the- history of the society, and it will therefore be realised that it is an institution popular with the people and useful to the district. Each year it draws entries from many parts -of Taranaki and .attracts a large crowd of- interested spectators. The show includes all horticultural classes —pot' plants, cut- flowers, vegetables, fruit and also honey and a. miscellaneous section. Entries received are very strong in all classes, and make therefore a display worthy of the district. The farmers’ section, agricultural and pastoral, is represented by the good entry in the utility horse classes, gig horses and ponies and the leaping competitions for horses and ponies. For the children of the- schools there are. competitions for best pony, of various heights'from 12 to 14 hands (three classes), and best boy and girl rider. These classes brought eat -a capital array of ponies -and clever capable riders. Other competitions -include those.for -motor-cars, musical chairs and stepping the chain, and a fine series of events for the children. The arrangements, in. the hands of the energetic secretary, 'Air V. H. Hobday, and enthusiastic committees, were well made, and ensured that -all events were got off expeditiously, and that there was not a dull moment the whole day.

The refreshment section, under a. committee of ladies, was excellently run, and was much appreciated by large numbers of visitors. It performed a very useful service. During the afternoon the Manaia Brass Rand played o very enjoyable scries of selections, and these served to assist materially in maintaining the interest of spectators-. THIS EVENING.
