SHOW OPENS TO-DAY

DISPLAYS ALL COMPLETE. —— The commodious garages in Broadway North, cleared of plant and machinery, represented a scene of great activity yesterday and last night. Everywhere, officials qf the show and lessees of space were busy erecting, stocking and completing stalls, booths, display stands and district courts. The tap of hammers and the buzz of saws echoed throughout the buildings and creations of man grew amazingly. The show will open to-day and the official opening will take place in the evening, Mr. W° J. Polson, M.P., being chief spokesman. The past two days have been busy ones for the association and those connected with the show. It only remains for those exhibitors w'ho have not already sent forward their entries in the competitive sections to do so as early as possible. Judging cannot be held up, but every reasonable facility will be given to place exhibits. FARMERS OF MIDHIRST. DISPOSAL OF BOBBY CALVES. Under the auspices of the Midhirst branch of the Farmers’ Union, seventy settlers gathered in the Midhirst Hall last night for the dual purpose of discussing with Mr. A. Williams, manager of the Pa tea Freezing Company, arrangements for the continuation of the bobby calf pool on the lines of organisation in vogue last year, and to hear an address on the care of pastures and top-dressing delivered by Mr. J. M. Smith, of the Agricultural Department. Mr. Walter Vickers presided. Mr. Williams first reviewed the operations of the previous season’s pool and outlined various aspects of the marketing and freezing ends of the boneless veal industry. It was then decided to continue with the pool, farmers being urged to dispose of their unwanted calves by consignment through the works. Mr. Smith’s lecture was of absorbing interest, more especially as he illustrated his points with lantern slides, demonstratins, in this fashion, how pastures might best be preserved m good strong grasses of the greatest nutritious value Mr. Smith’s lecture has already been reported in detail in the News, but some fore-knowledge of the subject did not detract from the keenness of the audience to benefit from his remarks. Mr.' Smith was subsequently accorded a very hearty vote of thanks and appreciation. GENERAL ITEMS. While Mr. C. K. McCutchen was driving Nurse M. Myers, district nurse at Wtangumomona, from Whangamomona to his residence at Tahora yesterday, thcar skidded over a bank. As a result Nurse Myers sustained a broken col arbone which necessitated her being taken to the Stratford public hospital. He. condition last night was as satisfactory as could be expected. The interest taken in the forthcoming Eltham competitions is shown by the more than satisfactory entries received. All classes are well filled so ™r and the Competitions Society is antici natin" a much larger number of entries than last year. Although two days have been allotted for the competitions it is possible that difficulty may be experienced in completing the programme in that time.

When picked up he was suffering from bruises and a dislocated shoulder. Mr. 'Sclineebelli’s condition was such that he had to receive medical attention and la er was conveyed to his own home.
