WAIKATO WINTER SHOW.

A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION.

\ • ■ •'" ■ [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN" CORRESPONDENT.]

•• ■ Hamilton, Wednesday. jo The first Waikato Winter Show was open- i ed in the Horse Bazaar, Hamilton, -yesterday afternoon. There is a very large num- *j ber of entries which are fairly illustrative of i all the industries pursued- in the Waikato. The building is admirably suited''to the J purpose, and the exhibits are well display- j, ed. In the home industry department, j I which mainly consisted of specimens of cooking, there is a very large number of c entries, which afforded abundant evidence that the wives of the settlers are most pro- .' ficient in the strength oi their domestic', duties. The several linns who do busi-l' ness with the farmers have on show seeds,] manures, and other requisites. The stalls! of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile! 1 Company, Messrs. G.'E. Clark and Sons, j' Parr Bros., and the Farmers' Supply Com-!j pany call for special mention. There are is also some excellent specimens of wood-U work. The Agricultural Department pro-!, vide their full share of xhibits, showing:) wheat, oats, and barley. An excellent show 3 of various kinds of apples is also provided j by the Department. - ■ , The Mayor, before declaring the show! open, said, as one of the originators of the! idea, it gave him great pleasure to open ( the show under such auspicious conditions, ] and as many people, principally dairymen; ' threw cold water ' on the project, it was all the more pleasing to see that the exhi- ' bition was such an unqualified success. The j i show was firmly established on a firm loot- ' ing, and he hoped, it would be the forerunner of many others, which, no doubt, , would gradually grow in importance. The , sincere thanks of the committee were due i to the Agricultural Department, Chamber of Commerce, Agricultural Association, and the band of willing workers who had aided : so materially m the consummation of the j wishes of the prime 'movers in the matter. He apologised for the "absence of the Mayor : of Te Arolui, and formally declared the show open. The following is the list of awards: — • DAIRY PRODUCE.' Judge: Mr. A. A. Thornton, Government grader.
