There wap a good muster, under Lieutenant Binglam?.

A gentleman who left Anekland some time ago for -t. Louis, XJ.H.A., wrote by the last mail from that city, suggesting that New Zealand should be represented at the coming World's Pair, which is to be held at St. Douia in (1801. He says; —“ I know of no better way of bringing New Zealand before the world. I would like to see the Maoris represented. What took place at Botorua when the Duke wae there is of little value compared with what such an exhibition would mean in real value, ethnologic il and educational, here. There could be a small Maori village, with just a few good specimens of Maoris.” The writer goes on to say that if the New Zealand Government are alive to the encouragemeat of the tourist traffic to New

Zealand, they will not miss tins oppor tunity o£ advertising the colony. As to the aoolimatiiation of salmon in New Zealand, Mr Tisdall, of Wellington, who has just returned from a visit to the Old Country, thinks that it is a mistake to import many of the verities of American salmon, as several of those fish do not take the fly, while the British salmon does, and the Utter is an equally good table fish. In England Mr Tisdall had an interesting interview with Mr William Senior, who, as “ Bedspinner,” the editor of The Field, is known pretty well all over the civilised world. Fishermen throughout the colony will be interested in the fact that Mr Senior proposes, within two or three years, to pay a visit to New [ Zealand, and has asked Mr Tisdall to j plan a tour for him. He has also arranged for correspondence for his paper from Now Zealand, in which colony he has always taken a keen interest. Mr Senior’s views on the acclimatisation of salmon hero may prove of interest. “Why, when you get such splendid trout fishin?, do you bother about salmon ? ” he asked. " Yon have the finest trout in the world," ho added, “ and from all I can gather in several of your rivers they have acquired the habits of the salmon. With snob fish you do not need salmon.” The annual show of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and B. Association will be held at Palmerston North on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 12th, 13tb, and 14th November next. In order to meet the wishes of exhibitors of stock the committee have somewhat amended the method of procedure, and the judging of horses, sheep, and cattle, will commence on the second day of the show instead of oil the first us hitherto, while the poultry section, which by the addition of a large number of classes has been made a special feature of the show, will be j odged on the first day instead of on the second day. The first day’s programme has been made j more attractive by the inclusion of competitions for mounted rifle corps, j Victoria Cross race, addition race,] jumping by sections, an j petition and schools squad competition. | in addition to a sheep dog trial, which was inaugurated last year. On the second day the judging of sheep, cattle, dogs, horses, ladies’ hacks, and boy and girl riders will take place, as will also the leaping competition (steepleohaie style). The third day will, as usual, be devoted largely to the various interesting competitions, such as tandem and single driving, ladies’ driving, pony leaping, hunters’ competition, woodohopping. and an exhibition by _tho prize winning squads in the various military competitions decided on the first day. The association have increased the prize list since last year and the amount of illsoo is-** to be given. Entries will close on Monday, 27tb October, with the secretary, Mr J. 0. Lane.
