'i'hoso who wore present were greatly pleased at the marked improvement -in the exhibits as compared with previous years, not only in point of numbers buL as regards quality. horses, eat tie, sheep and pig's were ux(vpl innally good, aiul the dairy ex. hibits were of a high standard of' excellence. Thv display gj. agricultural implements was limited, but Mr Newton King- had on view a very line colli'd ii»n oil MeCormiek machines, as well as « ther implenvnls, dniry appliances. sr«.ds, flour, rhickcn lV<'d, calf meal. etc. iMvssis lirwlr.v and (JriilHhs h;«d alsu a very g<u/d dis pla\ of Lst-parators f«inniny acci-ssf-ries.
