There was an excellent attendance. and the show was a complete success. , . The total number of entries was practically the same as last year, in spito of the fact that the unfavourable season resulted in a very small showing in the fruit and vegetable sections. Entries in other indoor classes were good, and some excellent exhibits were Been, particularly in the fancywork classes. . , 111 the sheep, cattle .and horse sections there was an increase in entries compared with last year, thus compensating for the decreased entries of fruit, and vegetables.
