The Waikato Times.

THURSDAY, APRIL 17,1879.

Equal and exact justice to all men, Of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political. Here shall the Press the' People's right maintain, Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain.

The misunderstanding, for a misunderstanding alone it seems to have been, which has led to a short delay i in making arrangements for holding ; the November Cattle Show at | Hamilton is in a fair way to be cleared up. Neither the, Cambridge I Club nor the Waikato Agricultural and Pastoral Association appointed Provisional Committees to meet the Hamilton Provisional Committee on Saturday last. The Pastoral Association, it was explained, had not had j an opportunity of getting a meeting together in time to appoint a committee for th 6 12th inst, and Mr E. Bv Walker, the President of the Cambridge Farmers' Club, who attended the meeting at Hamilton that day as a private individual, explained that the Club had not thoroughly understood the nature of the.Provisional Committee appointed at Hamilton on the 2nd inst, but that really the general feeling of the Club was that, provided the Show was held under the auspices and and management of the Cambridge Club, it should take place near the Hamilton Railway Station. So far, this is eminently satisfactory. There was never any intention from the first to take the management out of the hands of the Cambridge Farmers' Club. It was only too great a matter for congratulationthat there did exist an organised body who were willing and capable of carrying out an affair of the kind, which a committee appointed at any public meeting could scarcely hope to do. What was wanted, as we have explained over and over again, was to make the Show a central and a general one, and, above all else, to hold it at such a place as would best suit the con venience of visitors and exhibitors from Auckland, while, at the same time, it was generally convenient for the'Waikato settlers. The place that best meets these requirements is the Hamilton Railway Station, where there are suitable paddocks, and to whioh stock sent from Auckland for exhibition may return home by the night of the same day that they left Auckland. If we can guarantee this convenience we can secure the attendance of a considerable number of very valuable exhibits from stock-breeders in the neighbourhood of Auckland, while the facilities for coming and returning will induce hundreds of visitors to come from Auckland, who never would have done so if they had been compelled to spend two days instead of one on the yisit.

And this matter of introducing the Auckland element, as regards both exhibits and visitors, into our annual Waikato Exhibition, we look upon as something more than securing a good attendance and a better Show. It may bo developed into a mutual arrangement by which the Waikato Show may take conjoint and equal rank with that of our Provincial one, alternate shows under the combined management being held in Waikato end Auck land.

We are therefore pleased to see that there is all the appearance of the various settlements being brought to a cordial understanding in this matter, and that the delay in maturing arrangements for one general show for all Waikato will be but a temporary one. The Hamilton committee-men, as mem. bers of the club or otherwise, will, doubtlesß, be present at the next meeting of the Cambridge Farmers' Club, and explain by conversation, what it is difficult to convey by writing, and in the meantime the new committee appointed will have paved the way to make the project more generally understood.

THE LATE REVIEW. The following telegram has been received by Col. Lyon, and handed to us for publication:—"May I ssk you to convey to the Waikato Cavalry corps, which took part in the late demonstration the high appreciation of theGrovernment for the efficient manoeuvres and conduct displayed

by them, and the satisfaction with which Government has received a further proof, if any was -required, that in case of necessity, the Government can rely on the servioes of a highly trained force for the maintenance of order.
