The Show, which was formally opened at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, is as usual at this time of the year, largely for the encouragement of chrysanthemum growers, and in return the display shown by the exhibitors was very good. The exhibition in general was quite equal to former years. As regards the root-crops show, the exhibits exceeded expectations, and the potatoes were some of the best seen for some time. The attendance was very good both in the afternoon and evening. There were several special exhibits ; one in particular was some heads of wheat grown from seed sent from England, that formed part of the great arch the King and Queen drove under Afternoon tea and refreshments were provided, being presided over by the ladies in eonneetioß wish the Sunday School Excellent ijiusid #i& furnished during the evening.
