DUNEDIN.

November 23

Mr W. H. Cutten has announced himself as a candidate for the Peninsula vacancy. For the Otago Agricultural Society's show yesterday there was capital weather and a good attendance for the first day. Cattle, sheep, and implements were judged. Mr Menlove, of Oamaru, scored most points in shorthorns. The New Zealand Agricultural Company were second. Their bull Earl of Brunswick, though second, however, was adjudged champion, and his stock also took a number of prizes. Of Ayrshires there was a magnificent show and great competition. . Messrs A. and J. M'Farlane beat Mr Connelly, of Oamaru, in number of points by two out of some ten or eleven exhibits. Great interest was taken in the exhibition of merinos, which were all of the Australian type. The Hon. R. Campbell took first prize both in rams and ewes, his imported ram Golden Tom taking first prize in that class, and one of his own breeding second prize. Messrs Murray Robert?, and Co., who took honors in previous years, were a good second on this occasion. In Leicesters the New Zealand Agricultural Company had things pretty well their own way. Iα Border and English classes Mr Marcroft's exhibits from Canterbury were passed over by the judges. In ploughs Messrs Reid and Gray beat Messrs P. and D. Duncan, of Christchurch. Mr Duncan took a welldeserved first prize for a broadcast sower. Messrs H. Haxton and Beattie were first in harrows.
