OHAKUNE A. AND P. ASSN.

SUMMER SHOW,

The Ohakune A. and P. Association held its second summer show at the Town Hall, Ohakune. yesterday.

THE OPENING. The member Parliament for the district (Mr. R. Smith), in declaring the show open, made a neat and appropriate speech. Looking round the exhibits, ho said he was not sure if I hey were as large as last year, but to him they appeared of better quality, “Too much stress, ” ho continued, “cannot be laid on these shows for forwarding the.interests of the district. There is no better way of satisfying the public as to the capabilitio.se of a district than by these shows. Now, there Is no district needs advertising more than this one, not on account of its demerits, but because it is being much misrepresented and misunderstood. It has been for a long time supposed that all the district could do was to grow milling limber. Only two years ago a property was sold at from £5 to £0 per acre on the basis of its milling bush being its only asset. Now, although devoid of bush, the same land is valued at £lO to £l2. The district must be brought before the public eye. No district can do well for itself without borrowed capital and yet in the past anyone wishing to borrow money on foal estate has found it very difficult to do so because lenders have been misled by the persons sent to .judge the country." Concluding, the speaker said, in regard to the permanent show ground for which the Association was asking, that the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the Land Board would be in Ohakune on the 10th and, lie strongly advised tehm to take the opportunity and put their case before the Board during its visit, THE SHOW.

The show was well patronised especially in the evening when entertainments and competitions of various hinds were provided for the diversion of patrons. The Waimarino Brass Band rendered much appropriate musical items during the evening. Entries were very satisfactory and the quality of the exhibits showed, in the main, an improvement on last year. Vegetables were, perhaps, not quite as good owing to the dry weather, but fruit was exceptionally good, especially gooseberries and currants, PRIZE-LIST. The prize-list is as follows: VEGETABLES.
