THE FORTHCOMING SHOW.
i Although there is a slight falling off in the total number of entries for the forthcoming show of the North Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association, there is every reason for believing that the exhibition will be much superior to that of any previous year. In our last issue we uommi'iitcd upon the chief nature of the exhibits, and we now give a rough detailed list of entries in the several classes, with the totals for last year : 1579 IS7S Horses—Draught ... ... 106 Thoroughbred ... 31 Hacks ... ... 43 Cattle —Shorthorn 34 Ayrshire ... ... 103 Others ... ... 34 Sheep Merino 81 Leicester 20 Lincoln ... ... 65 llomney Marsh ... 14 Others 3 PJga ... , 1 5 Poultry... ... ... ... 49 50 Dairy Produce 90 14Q Cured .Meats ... ... ... 15 15 Agricultural Implements ... 41 33 Buggies and Harness;.... 13 4 Flour and Bread .... ... 11 16 Grain and Seeds S8 SO Dogs ...' , 17 1Q Private Prizes and Extra Ex-- i hibits ... ' ... 133 193 Totals .. 994 1032 Of course these figures cannot be accepted as absolutely correct, as the catalogue has not yet been completed, but they are sufficiently correct to enable i a fair idea of the prospects of the Show , to be drawn from them.
