JUDGING AT TANEATUA.

GOOD PUBLIC PATRONAGE. INTEREST IN RING CONTESTS, [FROM our own correspondent. ] WHAKATANE. Wednesday.

The Whakatane Agricultural and Pastoral Association held the annual show at, Tarieatua 10-dav. The weather was ideal and the exhibits numerous. Accord ing to the judges, the quality of the exhibits was quite up t,o standard and judging was often very difficult. Ihe show was very well attended and was equal to that of last year, but owing to the association reducing the entry fee, it. is expected that the takings will bo approximately 25 per cent., below those of last year.
