This is tiie style in which tho Opotiki Herald set out to report the A. and P. Society’s Show: “At ton o’clock we strolled in our customary lethargic fashion into the grounds. All labor is glorious—we recognise this in theory for ourselves and practice for the other follow—and we took off our hat, in metaphorical style, to J. M. Butler Esq. (Pfesident of the A. and P. Society) and his confreres. Wo perceived that they had done their duty, with a hit to spare, and thou we proceeded to ascertain in what manner the settlers generally had responded to the call made upon them. Good, bad, or indilferent—the show was there, to be judged according to its merits.” In the same issue there is a description of the exciting finish for the Cup race, concluding:' Lallali Rookh just getting first by tho •soupcon. of a nose.”
