CENTRAL OTAGO A. AND P. ASSOcIATION'S show.

The eighth annual shew of the Central Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held in Mr Pitches' s paddock, behind the town of Ophir, on Friday, 16th inst. The day was, fortunately, fine, and the attendance very large, the takings at the gate being in excess of last year's. ' ' There was a slight falling off in the number of exhibits in dairy produce, but, taken all round ,the entries were about the same as last ytar's. Competition was keenest in hackneys, there being numerous entries in each class, and the^xorses shown were- a capital all-round lot. _ There were a good many; entries in the leaping clas?es, but the " leaping '' was a sorry exhibition. In sheep the number of entries was" somewhat small,' but the exhilrfcs commendable. A good display of farm impleattracted much attention. Among the exhibitors were the Ma&sey-Harris Company, whose exhibit comprised binders, sft and offc cut, with trucks and sheaf-carriers,"Brant-ford mowers with dropper attachments, hay rakes, shoe drills, cultivators with grain box and turnip attachment, and one of their No. 2 scufciers.
