MANAWATU SHOW.

THIKTY-FIFTBt ANNUAX EXBIBITION. OPENING DAY AFFECTED BY j f.XI'AVOURABI.E WEATHER. [By Our Special Reporter.! ! The Manawatu and West Coast Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s 35th Metropolitan Show an*l Industrial Exhibition opened at Palinersion North yesterday morning. This big annual 'gathering has established itself as one of the most important agricultural fairs in Australasia, and attracts the leading .'stock breeders from all parts of both ! islands, who are here enabled to meet 'and compare notes with advantage to themselves and the Dominion. It. is a matter for regret that the weather for the grand metropolitan .-noxv has proved most unpropiti. us of late years. Yesterdax’ was no exception to the rule, heavy showers falling throughout the day and considerably affecting the at--1 tendance. Yesterday was devoted to judging in .’the Home Industries, Needlexvork. Phonograph. and Art Sections, and jumping competitions. A very line exhibition was made of machinery, implements, and vehicles, which gave fanners an : opportunity of inspecting the most mod- : ern improvements. The experienced secretary, Mr W. T. : Penny, and his capable sinh, had all the arrangements working most smoothly. To-day will be an important one. as all nurses, cattle, sheep and dogs xvill be judged, while excellent entertainment ‘ should be afforded by the leaping compeiition (steeplechase style) and the competitions for boy and girl riders, ladies’ hunters, harness horse, best lady driver, and ladies’ hacks. His Excel- ' lenvy the Governor-General ( Lord Jelli- . .>e» will attend the Show this afternoon, when it is anticipated if the weather is fine, there xvill be a record attendance. ; The following are the asvards made • xesterday of interest to this part of the j Coast;—’ COMPETITIONS.
