LARGE ATTENDANCE. Opened by Minister, v All round success attended tlie Eighteentn Annual Snow held by tne Matamata A. and P. Association on Tuesday. Good entries were receiveu —in most classes, and fine weather hati * its effect on drawing a numerous attendance. The Hon. W. B. Taverner, Minister of r.anways, Mr. ±l. it. Sterling, General Manager, and Mr. C. H. Clinkard, M.P. for Rotorua, attended, and were welcomed by the president, Mr. W. S. Wilson. Mr. Clinkard stressed the need of intensive development of land and the bringing in of new areas. Mr. Taverner said the marvellous development of Matamata had been an ■eye-opener to him. It was a magnificent tribute to the policy of the liberal Government which cut the Firth Estate up for settlement 23 years ago. (Applause). There were -49,000 cows in the Matamata county, a fact to rejoice over, but as Minister of Railways he could not feel so happy over the extraordinary number of motor cars about. (laughter). AWARDS.
