A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION

[FBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.!

i Helexsville, Tuesday I THE largest and most successful show that has ever taken place at Helensville was held to-day. The weather, although threatening in the morning, cleared up and proved ideal for the purpose The attendance was large, about 1300 being present. The entries exreeded those of last year by about 300. One of the attractions was the Scottish dancing and the Bagpipe Band. The exhibits were very much larger and the duality higher than last year, ami particularly noticable I was the splendid show in the cooking i classes, while the potatoes shown would be ! hard to excel in the colony. The entries for : exhibition only were satisfactory, inasmuch i as that the local tradesmen had attractive j displays of their goods. The .judges were : of the opinion that in the horse stock the ! young horses shown were ahead of the old | stock of previous years, but in the cattle | classes, although the slock on the whole j was verv good, there was no improvement ion previous years.
