THE HAIWAKA SHOW.

this; f-.how is, smaller than, its neighbours, it certainly- comes up to any in quality both in and- out of doors. Exhibits.in most class.es were, good to, excellence. Gentiemens Hacks were in evidence as no less than 1-4 entered in competition and every one. cleared the. jumps set for them from the start.

Judging points must have been very nice to. decide the best Hack. Fine weather treated them well and brought out a large number of people and the. committee may be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. .

Favoured with beautiful weather, people from all parts of the district put in an a - pearanoe and the scene on the grounds ' had none of that want of animation which so often characterises country shows. An excellent brass band from Auckland and inumerable side shows, tho^ general gaiety, together with [the tiotioablo iuipvovemet in the management oil affairs, tending to make one feel the time well and happily spent in paying-this show a visit. We mostunstmtingry ooii-ratulato each individual member of the; commit cc and Mr Peter Thomson its sic;et;m, on the result of their efforts, as we happen to know tliey all worked hard and well in the interest of the show and district.

The exhibits, especially those indoor, were, from a point of quality, very good indeed, and quite a revelation to tlie Auckland visitors.
