Te 4.roha does not intend to be without a show. We have had the Waikato and Auckland Shows and shortly to have ; the

The Comixg Sho-w.

Taurauga Show, but on Saturday next the

longlookedfor Flower Show and Art and Industrial Exhibition will be held under the auspices of the Te Aroha Horticultural Society. The schedule. comprises Pot Plants, Cut Flowers in 44 varieties Plain and Fancy Needlework, Works- of Art, Penmanship, Essays, - Mechanic; 1 Work, Collections, etc. The Committee have woiked hard to secure the success of the Show, and is to be hoped their efforts will be rewarded. Schedules and other particular's can be had from Mr F. Wild, Secretary.

o o * o ■O' We, have to acknowledge ’the receipt of the New Zealand Official Year Book for .1895,which contains - the usual budget of

The Official Yeak Book

useful information on the position of

the colony. In advocating the attractions of Rotorua, twenty-four pages and two engravings are employed, while Te Aroha only receives one and a half. Te Aroha is made to keep in the back-ground, while Rotorua is well advertised. Referring to the output of gold from the colony for the year, ending, March, 1895, it is shown to be a decrease of £17,721 less than that of last year. The West Coast : and Otago, being principally responsible for the decline, their output being £8512 and £13,915 less than last year. Auckland is 'the only provincial district which has an increase, which is £5602 in advance of 1894. It also refers hopefully to the arrangem'ents which have been made with an English Company to sink,a. shaft of 2,000 ft. at the Thames, for the purpose of fully testing our deep levels. The total output of gold from the •colony is £222,981.
