AGRICULTURAL SHOWS.

THE FRANKLIN EXHIBITION. SECOND DAY. THE promoters of the 27th annual show of the Franklin A. and P. Society were fortunate on Saturday. For the previous two years the show days have been wet, but on this occasion the weather was favourable. By the special and ordinary trains great freights of holiday-makers arrived. Some spots of rain fell in the early afternoon, but it held off, and the " gate " was not affected. The clouded sky and cool atmosphere heightened the enjoyment of the dryness underfoot. There was a larger number of side shows than usual. All the competitive.events were watched with appreciation and interest. The Pukekohc Town Band, under the baton of Mr. McMahon, played " a lengthy programme of music during the day. The attendance was between six and seven thousand. Trie buggy paddock was densely . filled with vehicles of every description, while hundreds of visitors picnicked pleasantly on the hills. Taking the competing jumpers as a whole they were not particularly good, although in the performances of several of the placed horses the spectators were enabled to witness some clover jumping. There were numerous spills, and mora than one hurdle was broken, but the falls were never serious, and the prompt uprising of the riders converted the occasions into periods of laughter. The pigs were judged on the second day, and some especially good quality appeared in the pens. The dogs were also a nice lot, and attracted considerable attention. The poultry was a comparatively insignificant section. Following is the completed prize list:— HORSES, ROADSTERS. Filly or Gelding, 2yrs, suitable for saddle: E H. Kelly 1, E. Martin's Rubena 2, A.

A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION. " The Albany show was held on Saturday, and despite the fact that the weather looked rather doubtful, the attendance was a record one. This ■ year the Albany Fruitgrowers' Association has obtained a new showground, and has provided a first-class hall, which can be used for staging exhibits or for entertainments. Albany is not an agricultural district, and consequently the horse and cattle exhibits are never very large,. but the excel- : lence of the fruit and produce exhibits show verv clearly that the " poor gum lauds" are capable of producing material for a most successful exhibition. At the opening of the show Mr. E W Alison said he was greatly pleased at the marked improvement the show had made He noted that for many years the people of the district had been advocating the opening of a large tract of gum lands in the district, and read a telegram from Mr. A. VieUerman, Government surveyor, stating that this land would shortly be cut up and thrown open for. select ion. Mr. A. W. Bed doe, Canadian Trade Commissioner, also made a congratulatory speech, in the course of which he referred to the possibilities of trade between New Zealand mid Canada. ■ ,- i Keen competition took place, in some of the events, but the jumping was very poor.

A veil-contested class was that for hacks, in which Miss Freinlin's Rosie secured first prize. The cattle, though few, were good. A very interesting demonstration of fruitpacking was given during- the . afternoon by Mr. N. C. Pierce, Government grader. A dance at night concluded what was certainly the best show ever seen at Albany. The following is the prize list:— •Cows.— cow: 11. Ingham 1. Grade Jersey: H. Day a, W. iioouin 2. Jersey cow: li.
