MANGAWEKA HORTICULTURAL & INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY.

Beautiful weather favoured the Autumn Show yesterday. There was a record number of exhibits, all the available space being filled. In the fruit section there were over 200 entries, some very fine apples, nectarines and peaches being shown. In the Out Flowers class exhibitors made a mistake by not conforming to the rales, a number of, exhibits being disqualified by the judge for this reason. There were some fine samples of cooking in the bread and sweets class and the judges had a task to determine the winners. Some fine work was exhibited in sewing and needlework. The entries in tbe incised wood carving excited general admiration, the carved occasional table being a credit to the exhibitor. In the Public School Competitions entries were disappointing, there being practically no competition; this also applied to the needlework section in the same class. The attendance was good and great interest was displayed by the public in the exhibits. Mr Guthrie, M.P., in a few words welcomed those present and declared the Show open. He made reference to the poor entries in the Public Schools Competition, saying he was sorry that the scholars hadsnot 'availed themselves of the opportunity to exhibit their work. It was the first time that sheep and horses had been included in the schedule and be hoped the entries would encourage the committee to continue these classes in tbe future Mr R. J. Williamson, of Kawhatan, made a splendid exhibit of potatoes. Afternoon tea was provided under able supervision. The officials and judges are to be congratulated on the smooth way in which the arrangements were carried out. The secretary and his assistant had a strenuous time, but abiy carried,out thslr duties. The following are the results: —
