A full practice of all members and intending members of the Pahiatu x Cricket Club will be held on the Recreation ground on Eriday evening. The Royal Show at Toinoana showgrounds, Hastings, opened yesterday morning in dull weather with a slight drizzle, the weather prospects not being jxirtdcularly good. The opening ceremony was performed by the Governor General Lord Galway during the afternoon. Despite the overcast sky and rain, there is a very large crowd expected and if it is reasonably fine to-day all local records for attendances will be broken. The entries are about. 1,000 greater than for a.ny previous show locally, and about 700 more than at last year’s Royal show at Invercargill.
