WANGANUT AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL ASSOCIATION.
TST7ESDAS and Priday week : will : be gala dayn m Wangamii.' On the former the Grand Annual Show m connection witli the Agricultural and Pasioral Association will be held, and, upon Friday the* Jockey Club Spring Meeting will take place. We notice that Mr/j, J. Crawford, the indefatigable se.cre'tar^ of tlje A^lso.ci^ticn has, with commendablefopesigkt forwarded'forms of entry and a list of. the. cntny fetes, to. Mr. Bajtclielar, of the Eoyal, and Mr. Crawford, of the Brewery, so. that intending conapetito,rs may hare all the. necessary information. Hitherto complaints have b.een made by settlers m. the" Manawatu —rand it must be cotifessed with some , .iw^tice — that our friends aloiyr. the Coast have completely, ignored them, upon occasions similar to the present, aud we are pleased to see that the omis--sion is now b.eing rectified by the invi-tation-held out to farmers m *tUis djstricfc to enter the lists. Such institutions are calculated to. do an immense deal of good, creating a healthy rivalry, ami giving the farmer a worthy incentive for the. accumulation of superior stock and. produce. A- praiseworthy' effort was^ made last year hy our qeiglibprs, at the.ilovver end of the. co.uuty to inaugurate a local society, but we regret tb see the movement was~ riot "brought to a suc.cessfU;! issue. ITnder these, c'r.wu,inr stances, then, we trust that ourMocal j-settlers/will en^ertl^e lists, sothatthp.se ..outside, tho County may have ' ocular deripp ;^tration of the famed gracing Jandi $& Manawatu. , It will be seen y by an advertisement elsewhere that Mr.' Rotherim, the. Greneral Manager of the line, has, wi^b, an .eye to the convenience ofth.e pu.bjict a,nd an increase of the railway fec.ejjfe suspended the ordinary tinje table, a^cl int^ej^ds runnina the trains at certain hoji\rs specially to suit visitors, beside, iss.uiu^ return tickets, available %r Sour days, at'the. single, fare.
