Magnificent weather greeted • the, opening of the Palmerston • North Spring Show and Carnival to-day, reports the Press Association. Many important ground attractions had [been made, including a great cattle pavillion, housing all the stock, costing £4OOO, and covering two-thirds of an acre. The entries are generally good, and there is big competition in the dairy breeds, sheep and horse sections. Despite Prussian tyranny, the inhabitants of Brussels are indefatigable in playing "zwanzes," or practical jokes, on the German authorities, says an English paper. The latest greatly displeased the Bodies. The latter has installed machine guns on the summit of the Palais de Justice, which commanded the Minimes and Mirolles districts, where the rougher elements of the population reside. The inhabitants promptly retaliated by placing old metal stove pipes on every available roof, so that at a little distance the neighbourhood seemed to be bristling with artillery. The joke did not appeal to the humor of the GovernorGeneral, who lined each exhibitor of a stove pipe 15 marks. The fine was levied, to quote the unconscious irony of the official announcement, because the jokers had "distinguished themselves so grievously by a method ol raillery which could only be disastrous to the excellent relations subsisting between the civil population and the authorities."
