Reference to the deaths of Mr T. H. Ivey and his daughter, was made at the meeting of the Committee of the Timaru A. and P. Association yesterday, when a motion of condolence was extended to the relatives. The president, Mr R. Maddren, said that Mr Ivey had been well and popularly known through his active participation as an exhibitor at A. and P. shows throughout the South Island, and there were many thousands who derived much pleasure in witnessing his exhibits. The absence of Mr Ivey from future shows would be severely felt by the Timaru and kindred associations.
