WHAREHUIA SHOW

SUCC ESSFUL EXHIBITION.

INCREASED ENTRIES,

There was a large attendance at the Wharehuia Hall yesterday, when Air E. Waller, M.P., formally open-, ed the annual show of farm produce, vegetables, homo industries, etc.

Mr Walter said any country district was what the people made it, and the settlers of Wharehuia were to be congratulated upon their deep

.interest in the progress and welfare of their own little area. It was, he said, quite a pleasure to visit Wharehuia, to drive along its line reads and admire the prosperous [arms, to note the visil.de steps of progress in the type of school and its well kept surroundings of the electric wires leading into each homestead. The very fact of a show of its size being held pointed to the energy of the settlers, and he expressed the hope that they would keep the institution going for many years to come.

The president, Mr C. Murray, thanked all those who had helped to make the show a success, and especially the judges, many of whom had come long distances. The entries in the cooking section were net so numerous as formerly, but the large increase in the home industries section more than made up for this reduction and brought the total number of entries above that of the previous year's show. The produce cup for most points in the vegetable and produce section was won by Mr J. H. Ward, with Mr W. Newland runner up. Other points prizes were won as follows: Photographic section: Mrs Struck.
