An ordinary meeting of the General Committee of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held at the roomß at 2 p.m. to-day; present— Messrs E. G.

Ford, P. Cunnngham, J. Anderson, A. E. G Rhodes, Sir John Hall, Dr Levinge and the HonJ. T. Peacock. An- apology for absence was received from Mr F. Archer. A letter was read from Mr G. B. Starkey, Ainberley, suggesting that' busses plying for; hire on" the day of the- annual show, should , not be allowed to stand exactly in the :gatew;ay and pre^eht'Korses"- aad car-: riages getting out ihtte afternoon. -Acouple _'of policemen could, he thought, easily _ ;obviate'> the nuisance and' compel busses, cabs -and- trams to draw-up on. they Suhnyside Side; of the entrance. ;He referred to the difficulty of putting a tandem into one stall, and suggested that a parade of all the horses on the ground should be held at a fixed . hour. The parade, if properly managed, would induce more people to patronise the stand and make it a paying concern. The letter was referred to the incoming committee. Mr T. W. Bruce wrote, suggesting that annual members who had paid subscriptions in proportion to the fee of .£lO for life membership should be admitted to life membership in the Association. The letter was received and consideration deferred. A French agriculturist has discovered a very simple method of protecting all kinds of grain from the ravages of mice.- He states that a few sprigs of wild mint in full leaf placed at the top and bottom of each sack will effectually prevent the little rodents from attacking it, as they seem to entertain an invincible antipathy to its odour.- : He adds that he finds the herb equally beneficial for safeguarding his cheese dairy. Wild mint possesses antiseptic properties in addition to that which is attributed to it above. Late Advertisements. : TO-NIGHT. _ TO-NIGHT.
