CORRESPONDENCE.

A CONTRADICTION.

(To the Editor of the Mount Ida Chronicle.)

Sib,—We would not have troubled ourselves to notice the letter of your Hamilton correspondent, in last Friday's issue, concerning our work, had it not been such a misrepresentation as would have been unjust to ourselves to pass unnoticed, He mentioned we did not show, our work until ready to depart. We arrived at Hamilton on the Thursday. Two days after—that is to say, on the Saturday—we exhibited some local views and portraits, at Mrs. Barbers Hotel, and had .sale for them at once. In fact, it is to the early exhibition of our local photographs we principally owe the extensive support which was given to us during our sta\ there.

In conclusion, we may Bav that wo can safely appeal with thank* to the liberal appreciation our work received at Naseby, in proof of which the following gentlemen, for whom we have executed views and portraits, have authorised us to use their names in support of the same : —Messrs. Hunter Grace, Collett, Stewart, Alexander, Marshall, Pinder. and numerous others. Also, at Hill's Creek • —Messrs. & Inder, T. Turner, Suther-

land 13 ro?*., Wade Bros., Do man, etc., etc., the latter all portraits.— We are, «fcc., H. Heunert & Co., Photographic Artists. • ■ ■ 1 1 1 | ■ . <i i ■ . ii ■ SHOW OP LIVE STOCK AND FA KM PRODUCE. fTo the Editor of the Mount Ida (Juuonicjlb.)

In every country, and in a most every district, shows are being held which have proved, and still prove, of the greatest benefit not only to exhibitors, but also to the whole community. To shows we are chiefly indebted for the high state of excellency to which our domestic animals have attained. They awaken in man the faculty of emulation, and the consequence is a direct benefit to all; but I will leave this subject to be eulogised by abler , pens, and simply suggest that immediate stops be taken to form a society, to be called " The Pastoral and Agricul- • tural Society of Xaseby." All that is wanted is a commencement, and I feel certain that there, will be no lack of members to form the society. Trusting that you will kindly insert the above in your invaluable columns, X am, &e., ( Or.
