HUTT SHOW.

The autumn show, under the auspices of the Hutt Agricultural, Horticultural, and Pastoral Association, was held at the schoolroom, Lower Hutt, yesterday ; the exhibits on the whole, for this time of year, being highly creditable, aud speaking volumes for the fertility of the soil in the district. This show must be reckoned as one of the best held by the above association. The vegetables and fiuit were very fine, the lack of flowers in any quantity being the only thing wanting to make it an entire success as an horticultural show. Messrs. P. Laing, T. Mason, F. Cooper, and Me Nab were the principal prizetakers. Mrs. and Miss Jordan, and Mr. N. Valentine and daughters added greatly to the musical part of the programme.
