THE HAWERA SHOW.

A FINE DISPLAY. Fine weather prevailed at Hawora on Wednesday, the opening day of the fourth Dominion Dairy Show, and the attendance was very satisfactory indeed. The entries in all sections total 1425, against 1208 last year, but the greatest improvement upon tho earlier shows is the splendid manner in which tho whole of the exhibits are arranged. The secretarial arrangements were in a forward state, and the judging P ro ~ ceeded smoothly during tho day. The press representatives were not too comfortably housed, being packed in a little “bit of a box,” in striking contrast to the accommodation provided for them in previous years. JUDGES.
