A. AND P. ASSOCIATION

SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL GATHERING CUPS PRESENTED SECOND ANNUAL SHOW Under the auspices of the Waihi Agricultural and Pastoral Association, a very successful dance was held in St. Joseph's Hall on Monday evening, there being a very large attendance, visitors coming from Paeroa and Te Aroha. The object of the gathering was to present the local cups won at the association's second show held in February last. The principal prize-winners were H. H Sutton and Sons, who were the recipients of no fewer than six cups, Mr A. C. Bailey, of Wharepoa, coming next with three cups. The Dixie Boys' Orchestra provided the music, and the duties of M.C. were efficiently carried out by Mr A. J. Pollock. A tasty supper was supplied by Mr K. Gardiner.

Prior to calling on Mrs Blackmore to present the cups, the p'resident, Mr A. 11. Blackmore, made a brief address in which he referred to the success of the undertaking generally, notwithstanding the disabilities met with on account of the adverse weather conditions in February. He also referred to the negotiations carried out between the association's representatives and the Waihi Borough Council relative to procuring a permanent showground, and in this connection he expressed satisfaction at the result of the recent round-the-table conference. He extended his congratulations to the various prizewinners and then called on Mrs I Blackmore to present the cups.
