LAKE COUNTY A. AND P. SOCIETY.

The* fourth annual 6how of the Lake County Society was held at Ayrburn, Arrow, on. Saturday, December 7. With ihe exception of a couple of .showers in the afternoon, the weather was good, and the show grounds,, which are kindly placed I at the disposal of the 6ociety by Messrs Paterson and Son, looked at their very beat. The Minister of Lan<ds (the Hon. Mr M'Nob) wired regretting his inability to attend owing to a prior engagement. The member for Wakatipo (Mr W. Fraser) was present, and the attendance of the • public was large. Competition was very keen in all classes.- Id 'draught horses the entries were much larger than last year, and the quality- was of a high order. Mr J. Stevenson's mare again won the championship in the draughts; this being: the third year she has won. Mr J. Craig's Tweedale gained the champion ticket for Clydesdale stallions. In hackneys the entries were also good, and some very fine animals were shown. In thoroughbreds tibe entries were I not so good. Messrs Paterson and Son I again secured the prize for the most points 'in sheep. They also secured the champion ticket for a shorthorn bull (recently purchased by Mr R. M. Patereon in Christcharch). The entries in dairy produce and sundries were- also in excess of last year. Mrs J. W. Brown won the special for { most points in butter, and Miss H. M'Kib- , bin for most points in the baking classes. I Taken altogether the show was the best yet held by the society, and the manage- ! ment are to be congratulated on- the 6ucce£s attained.
