The Show festivities were wound up by a concert and dance, the former in aid of the bazaar fund of the Albury Presbyterian Church. It was well attended, and should result in a handsome addition to the fund. The dance was managed by a committee of hunting-men, and was very successful, the hall being crowded, and dancing was kept up till an early hour.
