Our Travelling Reporter). "Tho country as. well as the town joias .bands in according general patronage t'i Feeding A. and P. Associations bfiow oh People's Day, _and there Was no exception to the general rule to-day. rlhe secretary was heard to say that he prayed for a fine day, and as the prayev <X the ii&hteoiis prevailed, he had had the desire of his heart gratified. He . certainly had beautiful weather for.the vmding-uj) dajf: in; fact, it was perfe'et, 'i and crowds came from all parts to see -each other primarily, and the stock and competitions secondarily.1 One thing r>as very marked to-day. ' There was a '• big decrease in the number of side ' s^ows, and it would seem as if th* t Military Service Act is1 having its ef- « teet upon those who make fun for, and , fuol the people mostly every time. .-Tho secretary, Mi- E. jH. Fisher and fiafl. were again very busy, and the absence of complaints showed how thorughl,} even the minutest detail was attended to., and .courtesy extended io ia'l and sundry. v "' HORSES. The saddle horse classes &&vt the introduction of a little new blood this year, but the aspirants were un.ibie to displaco thepasfc .'few seasons' winners. For instance, E.

give him sufficient attention. It is not sufficient to put'"pigs" on the schedule iorm. Something more requires to be done. Adequate accommodation should be provided, and until that is done, breeders who-have pedigree herds will not exhibit. . Perhaps now that the Pig Breeders' Association is under way their claims for better attention will be advanced. There were only three exhibitors.at Feilding Show, J. T. Taylor, C. Dunsford, and W. R. Goodnck. The 'former won in every class cxceptuig in sow and litter, in regard to which the nrst-named award went to Mr Dunsford ; and the seconJ t) Mr Taj'lor. DAIRY PRODUCE.
